Hearth: Most Mispronounced Word For No Reason

Why does everyone call it hurth, instead of harth?

Hearthstone is a game, and everyone pronounces it properly. People know what a hearth is, they also know how to pronounce it. But for whatever reason no one says it correctly when used as a verb, even when they know they are mispronouncing it.

They probably do it just to piss you off, specifically.

I pronounce it “hear th” just like I pronounce heart “hear t”.

I know how its supposed to be pronounced, but Im doing it to bother people.

I also pronounce gadgetzan “gad jetson” to crush the spirit of my english majored friend.

I do not, however, pronounce .gif “jiff” because im a jerk, not a philistine.

Wait we don’t pronounce it heathstone?

Same reason people say “sham-in” or “shaymin” instead of shaman.

I love how this bothered you enough to make a post about it.

Hurthstone.

I’ve been saying it like He-arths-tone

There is a famous streamer who pronounces Hearthstone “Hurtstone/Hurthstone.” Could have something to do with it.

It’s possible, though my money would be on the fact that English is not a phonetically spelled language, and so we don’t always know how others pronounce words that we read, until we hear them say it.
