Not quite what you’re after but…
intäkt (pronounced intekt) is the Swedish word for revenue - literally intake. I was using a spreadsheet in a presentation last week that was a revenue model simulation. The model/spreadsheet was labelled ‘Intäkts trender’ (revenue trends) and I swear I said ‘Insects trender’ 5 or 6 times during the presentation

Thistle for me Clive. My tongue trips over the ‘th’ followed by the ‘st’
saw the advert for this the other day and i’ve been saying it wrong
Noticed in a talk I did recently that I said “institution” like an American which I didn’t do before, had to say it 3 more times after noticing and still couldn’t do it the way I’ve been saying it for my entire life up until that point.
So, I’m an American now.

Yeah the with the too bit rather than tchew
Extraneous the not part of my pronunciation
Aluminium or aluminum.
They spell it differently so I’d say our spelling our way, their spelling their way.
Our way is the right way.
But they’ve probably just done that to justify them pronouncing things stoopid
I could care less
“alright” - can never decide whether to roll the ‘r’ or not, horrible word to pronounce.

oh wow, this has foxed me a bit
I don’t think I can say ‘institutionalised’ as easily the US way, though
I say easily; that’s a horrible word to pronounce. does a number on the tongue.
Yeah these for sure.
I believe “loore” is right but I always have to give it more if a “l’yewr” feel.
Request to @tilty to provide a recording of her saying all the words mentioned in this thread that are problematic.
I don’t know if it’s mispronounced so much as my brain just wont let me say it right but ‘disorienting‘ / ‘disorientating’? Without looking it up I honestly don’t know which is right.
Phenomenon
Until around a year ago I’m thought it ended with ‘m’. I’m 36 years old - too late to change now
Do-do do-do-do
You’re on. Here’s most of the words itt, pronounced. Bet I’ve got one wrong.
