Why do we sometimes get the pronunciation of words “wrong?” This talk includes examples of such words and some reasons why we pronunciations get confused (for example, through the process of metathesis). At times it’s a tongue-in-cheek discussion, but you can use it to check which words you’ve been pronouncing incorrectly.

If you can say, without hesitation, “The mischievous child had a devious plan to put Worcestershire sauce in Daddy’s espresso,” your pronunciation is quite standard, yet you will enjoy learning about the linguistic processes involved in common mispronunciations.
