My parents, whenever on a family holiday would say "oh! what a picturesque lookout" (however would pronounce the word 'picture-skew' the way it looks like it should be said). It wasn't until I was 18 when I said picture-skew that my boyfriend at the time pointed out that I had been made a fool of!Darn Parents
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- When I was about maybe...8 i used to think that picturesque was pronounced picture-skwehAnon
- there's such thing as "soul-security"( social security )
because of the way my stupid parents pronounce it— elizabeth - I used to pronounce the word "Computer" as "Crocuta"
Anon - I convinced my boyfriend that paprika flavored crisps were made from donkeys...he was 20 at the time.Anon
