While on holiday i visited a new sports complex in France (cape du couvair (sp?)) and i found i couldnt say "Ski Slope". It ended up sounding like "Ski Skope" or "Sli slope".
I've tried many times and still cant pronounce it. I was wondering if i was alone in the world or if anyone else finds pronouncing certain words impossible.

I don't have too much trouble prounouncing words,
but sometime just for fun I randomly cop the swansanants in the words I'm speaking. It's amazing how many often people don't even notice...

I get it randomly, sometimes I just can't get a word, even when I hear it correctly and try to slow down saying it. Tends it to come out as "cfstd - confstd - oh-fawk-it-u-know-what-I-mean".

I found the best way to stop swearing is to whenever you want to swear, replace the word with "shucks" "gosh-darn" "oh dearie dearie me" and so on.
You get so embarrassed saying words like that in public, that soon the whoel need to swear just dissappears and blows away in the wind...

Was crapping on about "Manthony Undine" (australian boxer = Anthony Mundine) for a while...
Went to the shop and asked for a "Speese and Chinich Roll" - was pretty hilarious.
I've always preferred to Low the Mawn, than do anything else with long grass and mawnlowers.
Anyway, I leed to neave, cos its fime I tinished work.

again and again, you always keep doing it. see what I've told you about the dark side? if you cross over your just gonna keep doing it again and again and again. what you need is a pureed corn enema. that'll cure you right quick. and a flogging from a 62 year old opiscopalien (sp?) who has jewish blood in him.
