differently from her neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She pronounces it as &#8216;ruff&#8217; instead of the usual &#8216;roof.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey says she also pronounces it &#8216;ruff&#8217; in Idaho. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continues to share that there are other words pronounced differently in Idaho, like the word &#8216;Italian.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say it as &#8216;I-talian dressing&#8217; which drives her a bit crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds so different, but it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/english-pronuncation-myths-past-tense\/\">incorrectly pronounced<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tricky because there is no right or wrong about this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It often depends on geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be generational, as pointed out by Lindsay, who only hears the older generation say &#8216;I-talian.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accepting the variation in pronunciation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see in the dictionary that there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/american-english-pronunciation-t-sound\/\">preferred pronunciation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be different from the pronunciation you&#8217;re used to hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let the differences hold you back from saying these words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aubrey shared a story about Benedict Cumberbatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is a famous British actor who is known for playing Doctor Strange in Marvel movies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He became viral for a nature documentary he narrated where he mispronounced the word &#8216;penguin.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pronounced it as &#8216;peng-wing.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was very gracious about this error and just laughed at his mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Native English speakers mispronounce words often, so you don\u2019t need to stress yourself out about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>American English vs. British English<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor that affects English pronunciation is the difference among English speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is American English pronunciation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-1738-american-vs-british-english-dont-get-snookered\/\">British English pronunciation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there are different pronunciations in every English-speaking region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be very confusing, but none of it can be considered incorrect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many words that can be pronounced differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examples of multiple pronunciations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Often<\/strong>: with or without the &#8216;T&#8217;
