Words you cannot pronounce - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Are there words that you cannot for the life of you say right? I cannot say February correctly, and wind up saying Febwuary.

Also, if I dont take the time to say it slowly, I pronounce Marlboro, Marlbowo.

I have such a heard time with the word "specifically," I have to say it really slowly. And for the longest time I had trouble with "ideology." I'm sure there's more that I just can't think of right now.

I can't say specifically either. Or particapate.

I've actually never had a big problem with pronouncing words...there might be some I can't say at first, but I can after that.

I wouldn't call this a word I can't pronounce but for some reason whenever I say "Pamida" (as in the store only available in the middle of the US), it always comes out sounding Australian, not that there's anything wrong with that. I just find it strange.

Me either. I'm sure there are a couple, but I must not say them much.

Okay, this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I can't for the life of me pronounce Sleeping Beauty's first name. Yep. Aurora. I can't say it! It's my thick Michigan accent I guess, combined with the two Rs... It comes out "Arowa" or "Awowa" or Awora"

Everyone in my family thinks it's hilarious.

I'm okay with most words, but I can't get this phrase to exit my mouth...
"OJ Simpson is innocent."
