The most mispronounced words of 2024 have been revealed –

Tomato or tomato? Potato or potato? We all say things slightly differently, but there are correct ways to pronounce certain words, and the website Babbel (via Sky News) has collected the most mispronounced words of 2024.

First of all, we have espresso. The word has been used for centuries among coffee drinkers, but thanks to one Sabrina Carpenter, its use has gained momentum. If you’re wondering, the proper way to pronounce the word is: es-PRESS-oh.

Next we have the mascot for the 2024 Paris Olympics Phryge, which is pronounced FREE-je. Then we have the brand Shein, pronounced SHE-in, Speculoos-3b, an Earth-sized planet orbiting a red dwarf, pronounced SPEK-yuh-lohss three bee.

Elsewhere, you’ll find celebrity names, smokeless tobacco and more. It just goes to show that even when we think we have mastered the art of speech, there is always something we do wrong.
