Common Mispronunciations of Crisp
Not KRISHP
Nothing here softens. The s and the p close the word as two clean separate sounds.
Not KREESP
Short and tight, so the word rhymes with wisp and never stretches towards creep.
Tip: British crisps are American chips and British chips are American fries, which keeps the whole family confusing.
