In addition, a quarter of respondents believed that it this is happens because a of the lack of education.

I agree with the lack of education part. How about mnemonics? I can't believe it. Maybe the survey was flawed by sampling the wrong parts of the population. I am sure that all these words would be pronounced correctly without difficulty at Eaton.

If general English words are hard to pronounce, then there are places in England which have absolutely mind-bogglingly confusing pronunciations. Here's three some of the most confusing: Cholmondeley, Featherstonhaugh, Trottiscliffe Anyone who did not know how to pronounce these, would most likely say: "chol-mon-di-lee", "feth-uh-stohn-howg", and "trot-is-clif". However, they are, VERY unusually pronounced "chum-lee", "fan-shaw", and "troz-lee" Even to a perfect English speaker, these would be extremely hard to remember.

They are actually quite easy. I only had troubles with "onomatopoeia". There must be more difficult ones. Like, I couldn't pronounce "schizophrenia" but now I am used to it.

Actually they are quite easy to pronounce if you break them up into syallbles. Phenonmenon = "fur non me non". The more difficult ones are accepted foreign words. For example, "ingenue". It should be prounounces something like "on zhu neu" and not "engine new" like some Americans!
