Your criticisms are a little difficult to address, because they’re rooted in casual speech. Would you spell the word “perscription” because many people in your area say it that way? All the sources I’ve checked would have you pronounce it “pre-”. I’m offering an opinion, a personal perspective, on the word’s pronounciation. Not a rule.
Your second arguement befuddles me. The word “ain’t”, as far as I know, was only recently (what, forty years?) admitted http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/prescriptionry", although they said it tongue-in-cheek.
Please, don’t let the :mad: offend you. Would a :rolleyes: be better?
Tell The Boss I said “hi” if you see him.
Peace,

BTW; I know most of you mis-pronouncers have already checked here, but go ahead, bravely click the little red speaker thingy. 
Peace,
mangeorge, who loves you all anyway.
Since we’ve already nailed down the pre-scrip-tion thing, may I just add that the place with the books is the li-brary NOT the li-berry. See that “r” in there? It’s not silent.
What shamrock said!
I’m sad to admit it, but I don’t get this at all. I was trying to ignore it, but it’s bugging me that I can’t figure it out.
Can someone enlighten me?
This thread is about, you know, improper grammer and stuff like that there.
So where do you stand on the “nucular” issue?
I’m offering helpful advice that the noun based on “pronounce” is spelled pronunciation. Also, “grammer” is an improper spelling of grammar. 
StuffLikeThatThere: Here is a brief discussion of the difference between the appropriate uses of apropos and appropriate.
Everyone I know pronounces it “script”
Like you walk into the chemist (pharmacist) and say, “Can I get these scripts filled, I’ll be back in half an hour?” and he/she says, “Do you want the repeats filled now or later?”
You, sir, are shoveling sand against the tide. Trying to hold back the wind. Pushing a car with a chain. The labor of Syssifus.
Good luck.
Oh, no, no, no. Perogative means “pertaining to a Cajun canoe.” It also means “pertaining to a certain Polish pastry.”
If something has become cool only recently, it is nucular. Things that were cool before your mother was born, though she was born a long, long time ago, are not nucular. 
I dare not give an example of something that is newly cool. I’m obsolete, so anything I tell you is newly cool, no longer is. :rolleyes:
Hey, I’m 84 years old and until two or three years ago I thought enmity was spelled emnity.
Rookies.
Thank you. But I was trying to figure out why my username mattered. Which I have done while writing this response. I was trying way too hard and missing the obvious.
I’m fine now. Thank you for your patience. I’ll just slink back into my corner.
I like Va-nilla ice cream. I hate vi-nella.
I see movies in the theater, not a Thee-ater.
I’m on the war path against “I seen it.”
“woof” for wolf.
The grand prize winner: people putting questions marks after statements, e.g. “I wonder if he’ll be back soon?”
I call it a scrip.
Not when I’m speaking of my grammer Eileen!
And I’ve probably been corrected fifty times on the spelling of “pronunciation”. Thank you for the reminder. Maybe it’ll stick this time.
Isn’t your grand prize winner allowed in crerative writing? I think it expresses doubt.
IANAW, BTW, so YMMV.
Who still says purdy (or perdy) for pretty?
Well knock it off!
Thinking back, I believe the medical and pharmacy people all say “prescription”. I need to pick one up on Monday. I’ll pay attention. I’ll hold up my little bag and say “What’s this”. Someone will surely say “That’s your ? -scription, sir”.
Tricky, eh?
Wow, me too, until scant moments ago.
And I often said to myself “Why are the ‘n’ and ‘m’ in the opposite orders in ‘enemy’ and ‘emnity’?” Well, that’s one question (dis)solved.
Know what’s worse. People leaving off the question mark, thus turning what should be a question into an imperative.
I don’t think he’s talking about writing, but rather describing, in his way, an intonation contour, the high rising terminal, in which pitch rises towards the end of a phrase, in a manner popularly associated with asking a question.
ETA: Well, actually, on second thought, I think he actually is talking about writing, considering the example he used, where the question mark can indeed express doubt in some styles. I just assumed it was a bash on HRTs, since I see that with some frequency, but apparently not this time. Carry on, then…
