I was born on February 12th and for the past 60 years I’ve been saying Feb-You-Erry Twelth. I’m such a dork. And I’ve bin doin’ nat since probably kindy garden. 😆
You are brilliant, I love seeing you do great things. You inspire me to be true to who I am and better myself as much as I can! Love to see you pursuing your dreams and wish you all the best
I love you...but beyond that, this is the reason I still need spell check for February (I got the r this time but forgot the a...one step at a time) thanks Amy but I do love you and you should add infectious smiler to your list of hats
What do you think of people saying "comfortable" as "comfterble?" It really irks me but I feel like most people say it like that. Also express instead of espresso drives me up the wall.
In school we were taught to pronounce the first R in February (feb roo ary) but so many people have learned to say it wrong that they can't believe this is the correct way. Same with the letter W, which is a "double U" but many say dubba ya. I guess it's just a lazy mouth. :)
Soon as I heard "moun-un" I immediately thought "moun-un doo". I have to say the American pronunciation of the following words really iks me: Due "Doo", You Tube "Yoo Toob", Tuba "Tooba". Also it would suck for any man called Craig or Graham to move to the US and suddenly be known as "Creg" and "Gram" instead of "Crayg" and "Gray-um".
I like how you get a slight twitch at the corner of your eye when using the "wrong" pronunciation. You switch between dialect variations and their peculiarities without any hesitation, but a more crude form of American English makes you uncomfortable. :) I can respect that...
Hahaha it seems you have the same eye twitch reaction to sloppy pronunciation that I have... Mine is worse with improper usage and context. I've managed to completely release any adherence to form or grammatical necessity... I mean, look at these sentences alone! I'm sure that is someone else's pet peeve and drives them mad.
I love the little cringe you do after you say the "incorrect" version of the word. I'm American and as I got older I started pronouncing my words "more correct." starting with supposedly, in high school I was told I'd never get a job if I said "supposively", and twenty. Thanks for this, you gave me two more words to work on!
Really good tip.
Good comparison of standart and non-standard as well. Thanks for uploading !
12th is my new favorite word. Thank you Amy!

How to pronounce this tricky word in American: singer
I would like to know it.
Thanks for your help, dear teacher
Orlando Mopan T like finger, but with an s. Seeng-ger
This is a good RUclips video!
What about "wednesday"? Should it really sound like "when's day"?
uoleo That is an odd one, some legacy spelling from old and mid English. In that case, pronouncing the d is considered archaic.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I laughed so hard watching this video! Americans do pronounce these words incorrectly. Well done Amy!
"No no, Miss Lamont. Round tones, round tones."
