Words

Words I Do Not Pronounce Consistently *
  • Economic (eh and ee)

Words Some People Think It Is OK to Pronounce Either Way, But They're Wrong
  • Mueller (miller always, never myoo-ler**)
  • Lawyer (law-yer, not loyer)
  • Pecan (pick-ahn, obvs)
  • Syrup (not sear-up)

Words I Cannot Pronounce
  • Muir (as in Woods)

*VOTE!

**It makes me cringe that I even had to type that out. Actually, all of those but "loyer" are pretty awful.
