My girlfriend is adamant that people from Hull use words like 'bokkle' instead of bottle and 'cuggle' for hug but I lived there for 25 years and don't think I ever heard them used.

Hustings.

It just doesn't feel like a real word at all. It feels like someone has got an existing word wrong. Maybe it should be "chustings", or "hostings", but I cannot accept "hustings" as a word under any circumstances. It makes it very difficult to follow politics right now.

And word of all, it appears to be a singular noun. A hustings. One hustings. Not even one husting. So that's another way in which it sounds wrong, that I have to contend with throughout all of the hustingses that the Conservative Party are currently husting, I mean hosting. What an atrocious word.

It has always struck me as an inherently posh word. It's the appropriate word for the Tory party because it's the sort of word people who host village fetes and run the local neighbourhood watch can't get enough of. It's the sort of word that makes me think half the people there will show up on horseback wearing their fox hunting regalia.

"Specific/pacific" was probably brought up in the first ten posts of this thread, but last Friday I watched someone do it half-a-dozen times, at least, while reading the word from a presentation. Very jarring to behold.

On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? at the weekend, there was a question along the lines of: which of the seven deadly sins refers to laziness? Sloth and wrath were both up there, and interestingly, Jeremy Clarkson pronounced them as "sloff" and "roff". Now, if you go with the American pronunciations, that would be Sloff and Raff, or if you were a real stickler for British, and therefore correct, pronunciations, you'd say Sloaf and Roff. I was especially annoyed because I say Sloaf and Raff, so Jeremy Clarkson got them both wrong as far as I'm concerned.

How do you say bath? Barff? Borff? Boff? Or baff?

Wrath should wryme wiv trough, if you wonner be posh. Burrit's posh peepul wot say it like baff. Blags my edd in.

It's like sconn (like gone) and scowne (like grown). Sconn is supposedly the posh way of saying it, but as a northerner that always felt backwards; the short sound always felt like the non-posh way, and scowne felt like how the queen would say it.

I also pronounce bath with a short "a", but my impulse since childhood is to pronounce Bath the place with a long "a". I've never been there or even talked about it with anyone though so it's been a non-issue so far in my life.

Probably an edge case, but people saying "narc" as a shortform of "narcissist". Makes no sense, the word's got a soft "c" sound, shortening it to a word with a hard one? Insane, three-thousand years in the Hell Prison for you.

People on BBC News keep pronouncing the A in "secretary." As far as I'm concerned, our government has a Home Secre-tree and a Foreign Secre-tree and so on, but someone has clearly told all the newsreaders to say Secre-terry and I don't know why.

Gives me a good chuckle how the word "harassment" (which they have to say an awful lot these days) mutates over time, starting as ha-RAS-ment and turning into harris-m'nt.

I believe her-ASS-ment was originally the American pronunciation, but it spread because it's just more natural to a lot of people. I got into a big argument about American pronunciations a few weeks ago for sloth, because nobody except me says "sloath" any more. But my thesis was that it's obviously correct, because it's so counterintuitive that nobody would say sloath unless it was right. Meanwhile, the word looks like sloff and so if someone was going to say it wrong, that's what they'd say. The other people at the house party were not happy with my flawless logic.

The part that amuses me is how it keeps on gradually shifting further and further. The "harass" part gradually gets more of an exaggerated bump in the middle, while the E in "ment" gets closer and closer to non-existence.

I don't want to kick off the "sconn" "scown" thing but I think a lot of it shows when people only read stuff and never hear them said. English has some of the most arbitrary pronunciation of any language on earth, so I try my best not to judge people on pronunciation as long as you can clearly tell what they were saying- Because while there's technically a right and "wrong", the language itself doesn't require it to be understood. Meanwhile there are some languages out there where the pronunciation is important and can make the difference between being understood or not.

"Wokeism". Obviously it's a stupid word, only uttered by or hammered into a keyboard by people who'd lose a chess match to someone with late-stage Huntington's. However, the problem I've got is why does it have an "e" in it? I know "ageism" does it too, but that's a freak. I think it's got an "e" in it because it's a word by idiots, for idiots.

How do you say it? I think it's like Shrewsbury, where there's pretty much a 50/50 split on how to say it. I say Berry but I just try to avoid saying Shrewsbury and just mumble something like "Shuzzbury" to avoid having to take a side.

I meant, of course, to say "so maybe it really is just Fazz Ackerley". Now I've had to post about it twice, I will be doubly humiliated when it turns out to be pronounced "Fally" and everyone knew this but me.

They mean the same thing, but whilst shouldn't be used as a noun - you can't "wait around for a whilst". Whilst is formal, mostly obsolete and I would generally avoid it; it's mainly used in slightly pretentious undergraduate essays.
