What are word you’ve come across and just wondered “Is that even English?”
They could be very VERY long words, they could even be woulds like ‘anemone’ which i did not learn how to pronounce until last week!
Another word that i can’t pronounce is Otorhinolaryngologist . HOW do you even BEGIN to pronounce that word?!
What are other words that baffled you completely?

Nope, it’s the longest word in English
An obscure term ostensibly referring to a lung disease caused by silica dust, according to Google
Don’t worry, I don’t know how to pronounce that either

People with different accents pronounce it differently, I’m not sure there’s one right way to say it
Compilation, it’s the one word I always mess up
Often.
I just can’t say off-en. I always pronounce the ‘t’ in it. ‘Offen’ just sounds weird to me.
