Twitter Users Share Hilarious Mispronunciations Of Words We've Probably Also Said Wrong Our Whole Lives
English isn't actually the hardest language to learn (Mandarin, Japanese, Russian and Finnish top the list of world's most difficult languages to learn,) but that doesn't mean it isn't a complete and total mess. Native English speakers can spend their entire lives learning the language and still mess it up every damn day. Sometimes the mistakes are huge. Other times, it's a few small words that escape you until you learn the hard way through public embarrassment that you've been saying it wrong your whole life!
Such was the case of a Twitter thread brought to us courtesy of Andree Lau, the Editor in Chief for Huffington Post Canada. When she asked the Twitter universe what words they realized they spend their lives mispronouncing, Twitter delivered with enthusiasm. Hilarious enthusiasm.
Thanks, Andree!

Where did this question come from?
The mouths of babes, naturally.

I'm confused.

It got worse, hilariously worse.

I bet a lot of you can relate to this one.

Oops.

At least it was 6th grade and not college.

This one ought to put a sly smirk on your faces.

Complicated as heck.

People responded to that one!

OOF

Lovely.

Hey, that's almost fair.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when this one was corrected.

He said butt.

"I played along."

...The "t" is not silent??

Buggy!

No thanks, I'll pass.

Well, a house is not a home without the meow.
But hey, cats are the best.

Here's one many, many people are guilty of.
In fact, I'm very curious for y'all to sound off how you pronounced meme before you learned the truth!

Poor Andree.

Today is one of those days where you might want to start putting your vocabulary into the google function that pronounces words for you...
