is it an a.s thing to have trouble pronouncing words

i say this as i always seem have people having a go at me for pronouncing words wrong. Its always words that ive read before hearing so i work out how i pronounce it myself, and by the time someone says i pronounce it wrong I'm used to how i pronounce it so i stick to it.

I think it's one of those things that varies from person to person. Like I didn't start speaking a ton until late, but I am very good at enunciating my words, even though I'm from the south! lol Like I said, I think it just varies per person.

I find that I have really good pronunciation.

Unfortunately, I cannot help but correct someone who mispronounces a word. I have friends who find it really quite funny how often I am correcting them, but I can imagine that there are others who have been annoyed by this compulsion.

I agree with this.
