how do you say it?
Do you say laundrymat or laundromat?
Sherbet or Sherbert?
HAR-assment or har-ASS-ment
Across the street or Acrossed the street?
When you say “Eggs” does it sound more like Ehggs or Aiggs.
How would you pronounce this one: DePuy
a) du-pwee
b) dih-puey
c) du-pwoy
d) dih-pew
e) dee-poo poo ba doo
Wednesday or Wednesdee?
Incidentally, there is only one correct answer for each of these, and that is however I pronounce it. Everyone else's pronunciations are wrong.
Any other hazardous words I’ve left off the list? Please add them to the mix.
