Good morning.
I was having a debate yesterday about the correct way to pronounce scone. Do you say it to rhyme with gone or cone?
I say scone like gone, scone like cone sounds very posh to me.
We then started talking about pronunciations that really get on your nerves. For me it's hearing the word aLOOMinum, rather than aluMINium. I don't know why, but hearing aluminium pronounced with the stress in the wrong place is like hearing fingernails down a chalkboard.
How about you? What mispronounciations get on your nerves?
