    Yep. I am able to pronounce it perfectly now. I practised it for my oral literature exam. I knew it would come in handy, I had to discuss Hamlet :D

    Yeah, well it never really was necessary in my life till uni and then I had to get it right for when I was calling a show. It got pretty hairy there on some of the technical rehearsals though. :D Specially coz you're so tired and haven't seen daylight in a week. Doesn't roll so easily off the tongue then. :o:D

    "tragedy" and "strategy"

    i'm always tempted to say "stragedy" instead of "strategy", and then i know it's wrong, and i try to think of the word "tragedy" and say the opposite, but then i really get mixed up and tounge tied.... :o

    Any word with a double o (oo). Never know how to pronounce it.

    Blood
    Good
    Food

    Can't we just use accent marks? That'd be a lot easier than silent letters and long/short vowels. English is a stupid language.

    Hands down, the hardest word to pronounce: metasticised

    Whenever I attempt it, I fail and just say "spread" instead.

    "Statistically significant" especially difficult to say when I've had a few drinks.
