The pronunciation of common words has changed drastically over time. So, as the British Library begins a quest to record people's articulations, what do the differences in how we pronounce words say about us?

Pedants, beware. The sound of says, ate, mischievous, harass, garage, schedule and aitch is shifting

;383972']I say:

H - 'aitch'

Mischievous - 'mis-cheev-us'' date=' [i']not 'MISS-chiv-us', and definitely not 'miss-CHEEVY-us'.

Same. I thought my pronounciation of mischievous is just a pronounciation mistake... :D
