Is there a word that you can't say correctly? I couldn't say "superiority"  for a few moments a few minutes ago.

I tend to say words like "Inventory" the American way. A few people have given me strange looks before because of it.

sans the skeleton

most of them because i have really bad pronunciation issues

especially words like steak, photography, and specific (or any variation thereof)

inventory is pronounced in-vun-try rather than in-ven-tor-ee. i know cause my mom loses it every time i say it the latter way lol

my friends take the mick over the word oven because myself and the majority of my family say aw-ven instead of oh-ven. It must be an islander thing lmao

I can't pronounce the word fluorescent I end up saying 'flur-lecent'?? I also only learned how to say miscellaneous like a year ago I always thought it was 'miss-cal-eh-nos.

I have mispronounced many Pokemon. Unown, Rayquaza, Druddgion, and Mantine are some of the ones I learned how they are pronounced from Pokedex Pro for the 3DS. Porygon 2 also gave me trouble because I wasn't sure if the 2 was just a number or an exponent since Porygon is digital and computer programs use numbers. I kept calling it Porygon Squared.

Sometimes I struggle to pronounce "notoriety." I would say "Nuh-TOR-ee-ety" when it should "No-to-RAI-ety." Satiety is another confusing word. I used to say "Say-shi-ty" thinking it was pronounced the same way as "satiated," when it's most commonly pronounced "Suh-TAI-ety."

Captain Jigglypuff

What does satiety mean? I've never heard that word before. Also I thought for awhile that meme was pronounced as "may-mee" not "meem."
