Phrases/words that seem more awkward in oral pronunciation than writing
If you can make sense of that title (I hope so because I’m not trying to explain it, really, am I?), what would your chosen terms be?
I’ll start with Xmas (comes across as fine in writing but sounds so awkward/weird when it’s actually spoken), ironically. |
I don't think I've ever said Xmas out loud, it's definitely a written space saver type word :laugh:

I’d never use Xmas in Amy context … maybe I’m just old fashioned ?

Xmas is a terrible word. Written or verbal.

I know "hanged" is the correct useage, but it never sounds right.
