Pacharan, you have done something I thought was not possible! You make gricerboy, d00hg and Wilmslow sound super interesting.

I've told you a million times russell, don't exaggerate!

Shouldn't it be "Things that people in my local have only recently learned to pronounce properly"

"vytamin" instead of "vittamin"

I think vitamin is a word invented quite recently. Short for "vital minerals." So the first pronunciation is correct.

Edit: Wikipedia disagrees with me slightly. Say it is a combination of "Vital" and "amine", invented in 1912.

Relatively recently, but it's been around for over a century.

I remember being surprised when I went to uni at how many words were pronounced differently than I thought. The problem was I had never heard anyone use them, I had only ever seen them in books.

One of the pitfalls of growing up in the Midlands I guess!

Imagine my surprise after filling the car up this morning when the chap at the till pronounced the word "gallon" as "litre" when telling me how much fuel I'd bought for £90.
