Mine is Prodigy...I usually say Progidy. Same with names,I tend to mix up the begining letters like Hank Marvin, I usually say Mank Harvin! LOL My daughter can't say Calamine (as in lotion), she calls it Caroline lotion. Christine

My dad is brilliant at this, it's almost an art form - he could never say Mevagissey, even though we always visited there. And I am known by 3 or 4 different names before he ever gets to mine - but I don't care, just love me dad. x

My daughter couldn't say vegetable when she was a kid - she used to say VEGIBITLE. I had a boss who always said PACIFICLY instead of specifically. Lynne

All my life I have hated DETERIORATE /D/ion. Think about it, it's a hiddeous word. My husband says PACIFIC when he thinks he is saying SPECIFIC. We all have one or two don't we? As a child I used to have a SOLDIER BAG, well it hung on my soldier/shoulder. Deanna X

As a child with a stammer, I would have said: everything. One of those hidden disabilities: you don't look disabled, but it can be worse than having a missing leg.
