10 Words You Might Be Pronouncing Wrong |
| Page: 1 | |
sanketmodh PM [51] Rank : VIP Status : Member | #1 10 Words You Might Be Pronouncing Wrong You deserve to know the truth  Remember when we told you that the phrase “another thing coming” is actually “another think coming”? Yep, we’re still reeling. But it got us thinking: If something so ingrained in our lexicon was wrong, is it possible there are words we’re actually mispronouncing? Here, a list of ten common ones. Word: GIF The wrong way: gif The right way: jif Remember, it’s just like the peanut butter. Word: Sherbet The wrong way: shur-bert The right way: shur-bit But be honest, it’s delicious either way. Word: Meme The wrong way: meh-meh The right way: meem Number one way to give away your age. Word: Acai The wrong way: uh-kai The right way: ah-sigh-ee As in, acai what you did there. Word: Mauve The wrong way: mawve The right way: moave It should rhyme with “grove”…for whatever reason. Word: Mischievous The wrong way: Mis-chee-vee-us The right way: Mis-chuh-vus Making us think there’s an extra syllable--now that’s mischievous. Word: Cache The wrong way: cash-ay The right way: cash Ignore the “e” at the end, it’s just being pretentious. Word: Silicon The wrong way: sil-uh-cone The right way: sil-uh-cahn Unless you’re talking about breast implants, don’t say "cone." Word: Ennui The wrong way: en-ew-we The right way: on-wee Escape the ennui of small talk by telling someone all the words they pronounce wrong. Word: Prerogative The wrong way: per-ah-gu-tive The right way: prer-ah-gu-tive Yep, technically you should pronounce that first "r." source----------------- 7 thanks: Serecomputing,idj,Sonu,Mr.Love,AbhiSona, Jd2112,Loman750, |
