You know when some people say “fill-um” instead of film? Just wrong.

And when they pronounce “H” as “Hay-tch” rather than “aitch”. That’s just wrong too.

What other crimes against pronunciation can you think of?

I think it's interesting how much effect dialect has on words and how they are spoken.

For example, ever caught the "buzz", done a bit of "coooooking" or read a "booook"

That sums up where I am in the country and probably how I'd sound to others!
