I had a friend that would talk about how you could jump off a clift, fall into the water and drownd, and then read a bit of suede-o-science.
Ask. Ask, dammit, not ax! It’s a three letter word, how hard can it be to get it right? ASK!!
Also, the doctor the other day who actually used “conversate” as a word. You bloody pompous ass. It’s converse.

In the military, training officers insisted on saying “incennerrary” instead of “incendiary”. It was like nails on a chalkboard. And let’s not even get into (oh hell, why not?) “prima dona”. I’ve actually seen this one written pre-Madonna. Would that be Cher?
“Supposably.” ARRRRRRGHHHH!!! It’s SO unfair when people talk stupidy to a customer care agent, because we aren’t allowed to mock them for their idiocy… but I laugh and curse them in the privacy of my tiny mind! Bwahahaha!
Oh please, not the fucking alumin(i)um thing again, PLEASE!
Some idiot tried once insisting that it should be ‘ium’ because all of the other elements that ended with ‘m’ were like that.
Needless to say, I had his arse boiled in molten platinum and handed back to him on a molybdenum tray.
The man’s name is HAWKING, dammit. Not HAWKINS.
There’s some interesting accents around here. A woman in Mississippi last week put more syllables into the word “you” than I have EVER heard, and a woman today here in New Orleans managed to pronounce “card” as “coh-er-ud.” But those aren’t mispronunciations.
Would somebody PLEASE tell Shrub it’s NUCLEAR, not NUKULAR???

I grew up in Texas, so most weird pronunciations don’t bother me.
Except “nuke-yuh-ler.”
So naturally, that’s the one the President Of The United States uses to death.

When I lived in NY I heard some people saying “stupit” instead of “stupid”…which is just stupid. Not to mention bloody irritating!!
