Is that the same X that’s sometimes found in “asterisk”?

I believe it may well be the very same X!

It’s also in espresso!!!

Treacy????? Is that you?

‘Are ye on Facebuke?’!

It’s my favourite German word.

My son teases me about the way I say film and I’m from Dublin!
I also say the pictures. Cue eye roll from him and, “it’s the movies, Mom”!

Jaysus, “the movies”!?

It’s “de cinema” surely! :)

Yes, John, it’s far from movies I was reared. We always went to the pictures.

Now that we’re on the subject, I still use the word “minerals” when describing soft drinks.

“Giz a tin-a-mineral(d)s dere bud”

Anyone in Ireland that uses the term “sodas” should be shot with balls of their own sh1te!

“MOM”….. Please tell me you are in america and that irish kids arent saying that now…… I heard kid ask his mam can he get something out of the candy machine, couldnt believe it

Never mind de cinema. Bring de chisdellers to de eh zoo.

It also worked the other way , when the Nazis got suspicious they would ask them what’s 2+2

Non sequitur!

Hahaha :)

Yeah you hear people saying Col-Yum.

It’s more “Col-yoom”. To my hearing.

And ‘troath’ instead of ‘throat’. ‘Heigth’ instead of ‘height’ etc.

Progidy instead of prodigy, pacifically for specifically.

I can almost forgive the t for th thing (ting) as being vernacular. I can’t forgive people writing “through” when they mean “true” presumably because they’re ‘pronounced the same’.

Afreard or afeared instead of afraid

Also the horrid word “hostible” for hospital.

Afeared is correct although it it old English.

Totally agree: Sunderland said as in Funderland and what is a col-yoom?

Chicargo. Dunkey. Axe (instead of ask). Drives me bonkers.

Chuunng gum instead of chewing gum. I love it though, I love how it rolls off the tongue.

What’s the correct pronunciation of Sunderland?

Too true Des. I regularly hear both, but more often the one with the oddly placed ‘r’. I quite like it actually.

@Alan Probably Sunderl’nd, rather than SunderLAND. Like Dromoland. Just guessing though.

Bisghetti bolognese

Trun instead of throw. Most of the other examples given above are mispronunciations. Saying trun instead of throw is just taking the piss.

And sighth for site. How much did you pay for the sighth? Makes me die.

I’m afeared that’s through…

Not true – if I don’t know what you are saying, how do we communicate with one another?

They can take our sovereignty, but they can never take… our skwerels.

Enda Kenny is a squirrel.

Don’t insult the squirrels! :)
