One of the things I’ve been working on is pronouncing words correctly. I recently listened to an audio program to learn Italian (I hope to visit Italy in the near future) and was reminded of some of the common mispronunciations that people make. I was surprised at the way the narrator mispronounced numbers in English. Here are some of the ways she mispronounced numbers:
- Twenty was mispronounced “Twen-y.” – Missing “T.”
- Seventy was mispronounced “Seven-dy” – “T” to “D.”
- Ninety was mispronounced “Nine-dy” – “T” to “D.”
