“Quinoa”, “probably”, and “espresso” have topped a list of words that are most commonly mispronounced by Brits – which also includes the word “pronunciation” itself.
More than one in six adults (17%) wrongly say “kin-oh-ah” when talking about the superfood, rather than the correct pronunciation, “keen-wah”.
And 12%, of the 2,000 adults polled, have mistakenly called the coffee beverage espresso, an “ex-press-oh”.
