Can you pronounce these (one for the grammar police)

I have to say it contains a few words I have never heard before, but it is interesting and fun.

That wasn't too difficult, but some proper names can be a bit of a challenge, particularly when you take local and regional pronunciations into account!
 
Not a problem although I had to look up "fiefoffer" because this bit of property has been in the family so long, I'd forgotten how we got it! :rolleyes:
 
I can pronounce them all (minus ere, I got that wrong!) individually but when trying to read them in a tongue twister like that I get confuzzled.
 
Very clever, I doubt if it will catch on though :rolleyes:

The latest trend on the internet with 'could of' instead of 'could have/could've' drives me nuts.
And now I'm noticing 'defiantly' being used instead of 'definitely'
Where will it all end? :runaway:

I've been guilty of that in the Passed past along with a couple of others,
that escape me for now.
Its the damned spell checker / predictive texts.
And its probably the reason for a lot of the errors.
People are unsure how to spell something and believe
what the "phone" or internet spell checker tells them.

The first is just bad grammar not excusable really, the second is normally just bad spelling and computer auto filling what it thinks you meant ( I'm guilty of that one )
