ask - aks “Let me aks you a question.”
wash - warsh “warsh the car.”
water - wooter “Can I get a glass of wooter.”
The one that gives me the hebbiejeebies-
cornice - carnish “There’s a wasp nest up in the carnish.”
japatlgt, are you in, or did you grow up in, the Philadelphia/southern NJ area? Because that’s the accent that I hear “wooter” in the most…my sister-in-law is from Cherry Hill and she says it that way all the time.
Of course, her mother sounds like a more cultured Edith Bunker. She called my mom on Mother’s Day, when she wasn’t here, and left the message: “Tell huh she doesn’t hafta cuwawll”. I love that woman! 
Sorry, I just dropped in because I thought the thread title meant me…
There were plenty o’ wooters flying about madly this past weekend. It’s because SJ water has wood in it, methinks.
ANYbody Else bothered by the current, “War on Terror”???
It’s Terrorism! dangit… ISM!!! I don’t Care if a certain party-boy-son-of-an-Ex-President has trouble with 4 syllable words … the blinking News Media is picking it up!!!
For cryin’ out Loud!
If we’re having a war on Terror, we’ll need to attack nightmares!
What’s next, the Crusade against Night Sweats?
Grumble…
“Dark Skinded”
“conversate”
“volumptous”
“Ooohgal”
deja’ vu all over again
ax jew a queshion
FOIL-age instead of FOLiage
“For all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”
“Sort of unique” or “very unique”–if it’s unique, it’s unique! Are you sort of pregnant?
repetitive and redundant
people who use “impact” as a verb–it’s a noun, unless you have an impacted tooth. I hate it when people verb nouns…
Curves after age 45?
Oh and anyway not anyways!
Yeah, I’ve heard that “volumptuous” a few times. Eesh.
My pet peeve is people that come into threads to mention the exact same words that at least two other people have already mentioned.
If you can’t be bothered to read other peoples’ posts, why in the hell should we be bothered to read yours?
Cretins.

Regarding February, I worked for a man who pronounced it febby-airy. Drove me crazy! I was so glad when I left that job.
I used to pronounce this one as Molly-bend-ium.
