...apart from the obvious, like LlanfairPG etc (which I know some can!)...

do you, like me, have words you can't say correctly?

I say

Pymarid instead of Pyramid
Anenome instead of Anemone...

I know it's wrong but it won't come out right!

My friend tells me I say Clematis wrongly. I say Cle-ma-tis. (stress on the MA, MAY) She tells me it's Clematis (said sort of quickly)


Aluminium.....and now it's going round in my brain and I'll be trying to say it all day.
reconnaissance. i can say it now, but the other day, it would´nt come out right.
For some reason I find myself saying "woom roarm" instead of "room warm", no idea why!
I can't say superflous, or in Spanish toalla (towel) get in a right mess.
For some bizzare reason I have problems pronouncing Wildebeast. I always say Wildibeast.

There was a time when I used to say "Aminal Hostipal" instead of Animal Hospital. Not sure what was going on with my brain there.
Oh and I have problems spelling Bizarre!
Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy

Virulent. If I can stop and think about it, but I usually start Vilu - I mean Vir-virulent! Looks pathetic when it's written down too!
I used to go to School with a kid who used to say Chimbly, instead of Chimney.

We were playing Trivial Pursuit one night (I was about 9 or 10) and I got to ask a question with the word Archipelago in it... I pronounced it Archie Pelargo. That brought a lot of laughter from the other contestants. I'd never seen the word before, and didn't know it was supposed to be pronounced arc-I-pel-ago.
Chimbly for chimney must be a dialect word. My father used to say 'chimbly' until he was married, after which my mother laughed so much that he was shamed into saying chimney
Pelanty.
