I have two (or three) English errors that I have a difficult time fixing.
1. The pronunciation of 'pronunciation.'
I don't know if I can ever stop saying it "pro-noun-see-ay-tion."
2. I tend to say "It needs washed." That is wrong in most parts of the world. (Though in the mid-west it is dialectically correct.)
The correct way would be: "It needs to be washed" or "It needs washing."
