  • Alright, welcome back to Weekly Words. I'm Alisha, and this week we're gonna talk about

  • commonly missed pronounced... Missed pronounced. Wow. This week we're going to talk about commonly

  • mispronounced words, words that are often pronounced incorrectly. This is funny.

  • I enjoy mispronouncing this first word. The first word ishyperbole.” “Hyperbole.”

  • Um, it's nothyper-bowl,” though it does sound very funny to say that. A “hyperbole

  • just means toexaggerate something,” um, or to make, to blow something up, make

  • it really extreme. “My friend uses a lot of hyperbole when she talks about her life

  • stories. I really don't think some of those things happened to her.” “Hyperbole.”

  • Not hyper-bowl.

  • Next, “Antarctic.” NotAh, oh, I see. “Antarcticis the correct pronunciation

  • of this word. Some people sayAnt-ar-tic...” really? Oh. I guess when

  • you're saying this word quickly, you might leave out that first C in the Antarctic, uh,

  • so don't say that. Don't do that. SayAntarctic.” Be it a very, very cold region. The Arctic

  • is the North cold region on the planet Earth. The South is the Antarctic. There's sort

  • of like a hiccup in the word there. “Antarctic.” Oh, in a sentence, “I'm thinking about

  • taking a cruise to the Antarctic. What do you think I need?” Penguin suit.

  • Et cetera.” Notex-cetera.” Oh, yeah, okay. I hear thisek,” “ek

  • thing a lot. “Et ceterais just used at the end of a list to imply that you mean

  • other things, ah, so the list is not, um, exclusive to the things that you've listed.

  • Other things can also be included in it. So in a sample sentence, um, “Types of fruits

  • are apples, oranges, peaches, et cetera.” There are others as well, so don't sayex-cetera.”

  • That's not correct. “Et cetera. That's good.

  • The next word isjewelry.” What? The next word isjewelry.” “Jewelry.”

  • I think I'm probably guilty of this mispronunciation. I can't say that word. “Mispronunciation

  • where the word kinda gets a little bit smushed together, and we sayjewelryinstead.

  • We miss that, that second E sound in there. It should bejew-el-rey.” Uh, in a sample

  • sentence, maybe you would say. “I'm shopping for some jewelry for my

  • mother for her birthday.” “Jewelry.” We're too lazy.

  • Prescription.” Notperscription.” Okay, a “prescriptionis something that

  • doctor gives you when you're sick, and you require medicine, the doctor will write you

  • a “prescription.” Some people might sayperscription.” Wow, okay. I didn't

  • even notice, and I was doing it while I was telling you guys not to do it. That's embarrassing.

  • Prescription.” A doctor writes you a “prescription,” not a “perscription.”

  • Uh, when you go to the doctors' office, the doctor might say, “Here is yourprescription.”

  • End. Alright! Well, we've learned that I apparently can't pronounce some words the

  • way that they're meant to be pronounced. So please work on your pronunciation. I will

  • work on my pronunciation too. Thank you for joining us on Weekly Words this week. I will

  • see you next time. Bye-bye!
