Is 'concertina' So Difficult To Say?


Recommended Posts

>Nobody has yet put forward a liking for 'tina. Or is it 'teena?

 

I was affectionally calling my instrument 'Tina before I even bought the damn thing. Now, 9 days after acquiring

it, I'm already referring to it as the 'infernal machine'...

 

Apropos mis-pronunciations (as opposed to perfectly sound regional/dialect variants), I collect these, sometimes

from the august air waves of BBC Radio 4, more frequently from the slightly less august airwaves of BBC Radio

5 Live and BBC Radio 4 Extra. Here are a couple of my farouvites:

 

Narcistic - Narcissistic
Apolyptic - Apocalyptic

Cohlin - Colin

 

Rohger (sorry! Roger) Hare
