Personally, I don't like "awkward". It's.... awkward.

I hate when people mispronounce "either" or "neither". There isn't a double "e" anywhere in there. Sheesh.

Pffft, That isn't a bad thing,
Not to mention, it also sounds like proper English,

I can't say the word Physicist. All my friends are like "You should learn how to say it before you leave high school, because if you want to be a physicist you should be able to say it."

Neither is pronounced "Neether" and either is pronounced "Eether" personally I find it a bit odd when someone says "Ither" or "nIther" Next thing you know people are going to start saying wired instead of weird. Sheesh
It also REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bothers me when someone says "do what?" in place of "Hmm?"  IT DRIVES ME NUTS! I didn't tell you to do anything for pity's sake, I SAID something to you! Say "What was that?" or "Hmm?" or "Eh?" or "What?" or "Pardon me?" or "Repeat that?" or SOMETHING other than THAT!
*ahem* I'm calm!

I hate the word *cough* and *water*. The latter is just strange to pronounce. I mean, Americans say it the easy way, but some people say something similar to woota (some English people for example). Aaaaargh!

I don't usually pronounce "clear" right. It always comes out as "cler".
"Both" is pronounced "Bolth". I've been told that adding the "L" is an Albany thing, though.

I guess an annoying one for me is "coupon". because apparently I've been saying it "wrong". I say "cupon" with the vowels pronounced like "que", but apparently it's pronounced "coopon". lol. whatever.

Yeah that too. But that's a made up word, so it's funny.
