Do You Actually Know How To Say These Commonly Mispronounced Words?

Some of these pronunciations are based on where you live. Clearly they are American.

Gary Ellis, so you say Al- mond? I don’t

In received British it is Newcleeare. For some reason in US English the "U" in Nuclear is pronounced "oo"? It's a bit like Traits, which is French, so it's Trays as the end "t" is silent as in Ballet and Lait (Milk).

11/15, but there's gonna be some disagreements

I do disagree with the answer to the "almond" question.

The pronunciation of these words depends on where you come from.

Some of these depend on where you come from- I guess this was written by an American. A couple of questions didn’t even have an option of the pronunciation usually used in the uk!

Dengue is gay on the second syllable where I come from, (Canada) and victuals is victuals! And the L in almond is NOT silent.

All depends on where you are from. UK or USA

Interesting topic. Not sure I agree with all the recommended pronunciations. 😄

Nuclear is pronounced new clear, not noo clear, however, in the US "U" is pronounced as oo. This is not the case in received British. Trait is another one consistently mispronounced in the States, it is a French word and the end "T" is silent, so it is pronounced Tray, that is the correct pronunciation (as in Ballet).

Mostly ok (at least there were answers). But as others have noted USA centric. Frankly I pronounce 'sherbet' the way it's spelled, so had to guess which option was closest to what they might want and picked the wrong one.

Typically American pronunciation. The frozen dessert is sorbet not sherbert! I got by their reckoning 10/15 I got 15/15 English pronunciations correct.

11 / 15. I disagree with some of the pronunciations. Also, question 11 refers to a frozen dessert. In the UK this is most definitely not sherbet. It is more likely to be sorbet. Sherbet is a dry powdery sweet product!

12/15. As A Canadian I pronounce several differently. More then a few of these are American pronunciations. More specifically north eastern American pronunciations. Someone from Alabama or Texas would fail miserably.
