It has not bothered me that I mispronounce some words incorrectly. I have the same problem as another poster here with some r's sounding like w's. I feel like Elmer Fudd sometimes. Whenever I do say a word incorrectly, either my SO or my folks will correct me, but they always do it nicely and I don't mind at all -- I'd rather be told how to say it right than continue to say it wrong and embarrass myself eventually with a stranger! I think the key is that I'm correctly politely and not laughed at while being corrected.

[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 1335198, member: 5129"] It has not bothered me that I mispronounce some words incorrectly. I have the same problem as another poster here with some r's sounding like w's. I feel like Elmer Fudd sometimes. :) Whenever I do say a word incorrectly, either my SO or my folks will correct me, but they always do it nicely and I don't mind at all -- I'd rather be told how to say it right than continue to say it wrong and embarrass myself eventually with a stranger! I think the key is that I'm correctly politely and not laughed at while being corrected. [/QUOTE]
