[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 84679, member: 1991"] I love it! Mind you, I tend to only make crackpot soup. Our family mispronunciation problems are the reverse - easy child 2/difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 are hyperlexic (difficult child 3 is EXTREMELY hyperlexic) so they READ new words before they hear them. They can extrapolate the meaning from the context, but need to see the word written down and explained before they can pronounce it correctly. And because they both tend to use large words, it can really sound funny sometimes. I wish I could remember some of them, but it happens so often... I do remember back when difficult child 3 was about 4 or 5, he was calling his night attire a "dressing down". I wrote it down for him and showed him the word, so he could understand that it's called a "dressing Gown". He's never got it wrong since. The things they say - one of my favourites was when he had the window wide open and as the car was going fast he said he "had to shut it because the wind is poking my eyes." Marg [/QUOTE]
