Would you want someone to tell you?

Yes, but tell me privately, not in front of an entire group.

It doesn't bother me to be corrected provided that it's done kindly. Most of the time if I'm mispronouncing a word - it's one I've only ever seen in print not heard said aloud and my phonics skills aren't the best

A friend mispronounces some words because there are some sounds she can't "hear" It's only a couple words and she knows she does but can't fix it so No I probably would not say anything

I would absolutely want to know. The sooner the better. I'd prefer that I was told quietly but I'd rather be told loudly in front of people than to not know and keep pronouncing it wrong.

It would depend on a lot of factors. Is the pronunciation colloquial? Leave it alone. In a professional setting, it really depends in how close your relationship is. It could be appreciated or offensive. Friends, only you can judge how it will be received. There's no hard and fast rule for this. I might appreciate it, might make you an enemy to my neighbor. There's always the anonymous route, send them a link to pronunciation. You can also use the word yourself in conversation with them. Of course, they probably think you are pronouncing it incorrectly.

You might also need to determine if you are going to look like a pedantic know it all to the person you are correcting. Some people don't want to be corrected and it's not anyone else's job to police their language/vocabulary.

I think it means the innards (inner workings) of a toilet.

And I would want to know, but not be mocked, just informed.

I don't mind if it's done kindly, or in fun. For example, I have always pronounced the word coupon with the emphasis on the U - cUpon (with you in the middle). My daughter says it's "coopon" and gets the biggest kick out of making fun of me whenever it comes up in conversation. I don't care. I will continue to say
C-YOU-PON because I like the way it sounds. I guess if someone else were to correct me, I would simply laugh and say "I know".

Yes, I would. But I agree with the above - pull someone aside, don't do it in front of others.

I had lunch with co-workers the other day and was laughing and talking. It wasn't until I walked out of the room and ran into someone else that she told me I had lettuce in my teeth - I really wished the others had said something earlier.

I would definitely want to be told. I've had mixed results with others when I've told them.

If it's someone that I won't see again or a word that won't be used, I won't say anything. If it's someone closer to me, I'll decide based on their personality.

I once corrected my SIL on the word karaoke. She was pronouncing it ka-roe-kee. Even after I pulled it up online with the pronunciation, she still insisted that she was right. I no longer correct her and there are more mispronunciations.

When DS was little, there was a lot of noise and confusion in the house one day. He pronounced that it was "complete chay-ohs". Of course he meant chaos! I think that he had mostly read the word and in his head pronounced it that way. Twenty years later, it's one of those family sayings that we still use.

I agree with the majority. Yes, please correct me, but do it kindly and privately. Unless I’m with anyone in my circle, then I fully expect them to give me hell about it . I feel that way about a lot of things, and definitely don’t get mad about someone helping me out unless they’re a jerk about it, it’s actually appreciated. I mispronounce a lot of political names because I read my news, not watch it. And if I do it incorrectly for long enough in my head it becomes a very hard habit to break. I still mess up Nancy Pelosi’s name sometimes.

There’s a post going around IG about the one word you’ve pronounced incorrectly that embarrasses you to this day. Mine is Yosemite. And I’d heard it a million times earlier in my life. But I was reading a book and hadn’t heard it in a while and in my head I pronounced it YO-ze-mite as I read the whole thing. I saw a book in my therapists office with Yosemite in the title and was telling DH about the one I had read and he about died laughing. Still gives me hell about it, as he should

Yes, as long as I am told privately and politely.

I would want to know if I was pronouncing or using a word incorrectly

Yes I would want to know, but being corrected in anything should be done privately except in the classroom, and kindly, always.

MIL always pronounces Wetherspoons as Witherspoons. I have no idea why, as her hearing is fine and she's perfectly intelligent. But she won't be changed. Having said that, I had only ever seen the word tousled written down, and when I first read it as a child my brain decided it was pronounced tussled, and I never heard it until MIL said it when I was in my 40s. I don't know whether I ever used it out loud and embarrassed myself, but nobody ever told me!

Um, I am 56 years old and only found out today with your post that it's not, in fact, pronounced tussled!    Which is weird, because if you read it phonetically, it's nothing like 'tussled' !!
