*spin off* what mispronounced words drive you mad

*random childhood memory alert*

When my elderly great aunt moved to Australia from the UK she really struggled with the Australia accent.

My bestie and I used to sleepover at her house regularly (she had soft drink - it was v exciting) and I remember her finally working out when we called her 'arnie' we were actually calling her 'aunty'.

We thought we were annunciating the 't' but clearly we weren't to UK standards!

Yes, I've heard it so many times! Hamish and Andy did a joke thing about it, where one of them kept saying it (I forget which), and the other was arguing that if they could say other H words, then 'huge' should be possible!

As KellyMac said (above) you get it with words like 'humid' too 'you-mid'. Shudder.

Hmm.. Maybe i will need to listen more carefully and see if i notice it.

Stop... it hurts...

At least they are doing it in the name of comedy playing on the fact it's silly! ;-)
