Are there certain words you have difficulty saying or spelling?

i personally don't think i have one but my x-husband had trouble with straight. it would come out skrate.

Hi...I always have trouble spelling "believe" it's always spelt belive when I look and one I'm terrible for is "popping" I always with out fail spell it pooping why ??...I know very well how they are spelt and has for speaking words I stumble over a lot especially if I'm at my hormonal time ...lol

I used to studder so listing the words I had problems with would be too many for this page. When I was married to my ex...I was extremely nervous that's when I began to studder....so...after I got a divorce....and as the years went by and my self confidence grew I no longer do that...and right now there are only a couple of words I have trouble with like the word for 150th anniversary...heck I can't even spell it much less pronounce it! LOL

Hi Mands, Other than when I have had a few drinks and am confused by any words LOL there are two I have problems with. I always want to spell want wont and I always spell definitely definately. Huggles. Ellie :D

none that I can think of off hand, but my mother has always had trouble with the word aluminum, it always comes out aluminium. I am sure that there is a word somewhere in my vocabulary that isn't pronounced right, I just can't think of one now. lol

When I say Mirror, it comes like like merr and drawer like what you keep your clothes in comes out just as draw, for some reason my friends have a hard time accepting this. haha I like it though. I also couldn't pronounce new zealand.

This is a mouthful (remember my innuendo response you replied to!!!) lol. Anyhow I cannot say minimalistic. I took some stuff to the charity shop the other day and the women were very pleased with my efforts, well I try to please and I said I wanted to go for the minimalistic approach and do you think I could get it out (pun not intended!) I felt embarrassed but one of the women helped me! Talk about daft! I remember as a child having a difficulty pronouncing trousers, I would always say wowsers. Weapon is another word I have trouble spelling too mixing the vowels around weopen.

well as of now i cant remember one..but what i can think of was when im trying to remember something especially if its to identify some persons name or things or anything..i feel that i already know it and yet i can speak it in words ..its like in the tip of my tonque..

Spelling I am generally not so bad with and nine out of ten spelling mistakes I make when typing are becasue I rush things and mis-type without being patient enough to check my writing first more than anything else! But there is one word combination that has ALWAYS been difficult for me to say for some reason..... Try to say these two words together quite fast a number of times: "Investigative Reporter". I can recite tongue twisters and other far more complex words quite quickly with no issues but for some reason those two words together trip me up! lol.

I think this is quite a common one, but I have problems with the word specifically. I usually say it as "pacifically"! I also stumble over the words statistics and strategic, which used to be a big problem as I used to have to say both quite a lot in my job. Actually, reading over what I've just written, I've just realised that I must have a problem with the letter s. Particularly when it's followed by the letter t, and possibly other words that start with "sp" (although I think I'm ok with spaghetti). Wow, I've never noticed this before, lol! Thanks for making me think about this!

Hi mands! I think that's cute! The words that you have trouble with are very common words that alot of people have problems with. I can't think of the ones that I have trouble with right now, but I can tell you that there are definitely some. Not so much pronoucing, but spelling sometimes. My roomate sometimes bf is the worst! In fact that's one of the words he can't ever get right! He says worser, not worse! I keep correcting him and he still gets it wrong. I am drawing a blank on the words that trip me up. If I think of some I promise I'll get back to you.

Well all i can say is thank goodness for the spell checker hahaha because im not that good at spelling things i can pronounce things really well but spelling them is a hole different thing lol.

I can't say the word rural. I know a lot of people that have problems with it too

Sometimes, I find myself messing up the th- words. I can say it with no problem when the word is just one syllable (thin, thick) but I do if the th- is part of the second syllable or third syllable... like amethyst... I'm pretty good with spelling although I screwed up the spelling of lieu in a school spelling bee a long time ago. I spelled it Lew. Lol!

I used to have a friend that wouldn't mispronounce words, but she would misuse them and it drove me nuts! examples: she would go to the doctor and get a subscription she would get a perscription to a magazine she cleaned with pnumonia and if she had a cold she worried about getting ammonia there were many others, but those are the ones she confused the most. My issue was always with ambulance. It always came out amblamance LOL. I practiced alot though so now I've got it under control.(unless I'm in a big hurry)

I am unable to say rural, its a really difficult word to pronounce.We were studying a chapter of Urban and Rural Life, and it was so fun that almost everyone made mistake in pronouncing rural.

Hi mands, When I was younger I was briliant at spelling and prenonuncing the words but now my brians have stoped working as I seems to be misspelling quite often or leaving out a letter making me feel such a fool when I read it back after I have already press post respond and yet when I am writing it down it different, my spelling is ok.

Well, spanish is my main language and in there no problem. Now, when it comes to english, which is my second, there are some words that aren't so commonly used in a daily basis. Those are the words that I can't pronounce very well. Now, the other languages I am practicing chinese and french... I guess there's just too much I can't pronounce or spell xD!

I have difficulty pronouncing my name. Lol! "cheryl". What I find difficult is the "eryl" part. Because I had this classmate before whose name's "charyl". And I could pronounce her name very well. =D I find the words with "S" also difficult to pronounce. The tongue twister "SHe sells seashells in the seashore", is torture to me. =)

For some reason, I have a hard time saying "specific." It always, no matter how I say it, comes out as "pacific." I guess I still have that lisp I had in elementary school.
