Why can’t people pronounce “especially”?

[Anonymous]

I say Especially close to “ex-specially” I blame it on the 90s Nickelodeon casts.

Breakfast is - breck-fuss-t ..add a hard t

I want someone to do a PSA or YouTube tutorial coaching people on how to break it down and say it correctly.

Eh-specially.

No X.

I wish this didn’t bother me as much as it does.

Are you racist?

NP. White people say this.

Also say impor-ant. Moun-uhn. Foun-uhn.

It's not like they're saying a totally different, unrecognizable word. You know what they are saying and you're choosing to get huffy about it. Chill.

Wait, how do people say "breakfast"?

Breffus, yo.

I usually don't say it with three syllables, but ok.

It shows that many people are functionally illiterate. They have no idea how it’s spelled or how phonics work. We don’t need to celebrate it.

English is barely phonetic. It's what happens when you have a language that colonizes other languages.

I’ve always considered these mispronounced words a result of a lack of reading enough.
