I just realized I pronounce "insects" as "in-sex".

Saying "in-sekt" isn't so hard, but adding that "s" throws it all off...

My wife pronounces it "Oh my God! There's something moving over there!"

I then pronounce it "squish"

Hell, I just had to dog myself on the word, "often."

"Off-en" is the correct pronunciation.

"Off-ten" is in common use and therefore deemed acceptable.

I say it both ways, depending on context.

I wonder, does anyone pronounce the T in soften?


Oh, and "insex" unless I'm being condescending... then it's crisp, clear consonants all the way.

I like it when people add letters that aren't even there.  Two friends of mine, one from Maine and the other, Ohio, struggle with the word, "idea."  It comes out as, "ideal" and "idear."  WTF?  How?
