Don't forget adidas. I've heard English people saying it in a weird way like "a-deed-ass". I don't know if all english people say it like that. Here everyone pronounces it like "addy-dass"

Me and everyone else I know says "para-seat-a-mol" I've only ever heard English people say it "para-set-a-mol" English people again and their strange pronunciations!! 'Tis amusing. Ohhh just realised, I've got an English boyfriend. I can make him say things!!

ohhh i had never thought of eck or eek before!! I say eek. And now I've started thinking about "process" or "pracess". I have heard americans and southern irish people saying the latter. I say "process".

It really annoys me the way most English people say "Pry-mark" instead of "Pree-mark" even when we say it the right way to them. It's an Irish company and we've had it for decades. Now they are opening up in England and everyones calling it "Pry-mark" I also get very annoyed at people calling Lidl..."Liddle" when it's pronounced "Lee-dill" I'm a grumpy sod really.

ah dont worry, 'pry-mark' annoys me too. and my friend, who says 'marrster' instead of 'master' (but then says things like 'laugh' as 'laff' and not 'larf'), annoys me too.

I didn't know Primark was supposed to be pronounced Pree-mark, thanks for the info! I'm gonna annoy everyone by saying that and telling them it's the proper way :P These are the way I say some of the things you've mentioned: Paracetomal with "set" "addy-dass" for Adidas "eek-onomics" for economics "pro-cess" for process

apparently when sony was set up they wanted the name to be pronounced 'sunny'.
And Nike is the greek goddess of victory, and should actually be pronounced neekay.
