Oy vay, such a goy! :smack:
I once knew a guy so dumb, he though cunnilingus was an Irish airline…
I remember snickering at/about Aer Lingus when I was 10 or 12.
I pronounce forte as in “something I am good at” as “fort” but have been “corrected” so many times it is depressing. So maybe they think I am pretentious. Or wrong.
Some nurses I know use Saaawnt-uh-meters for centimeters, and I find that pretentious.
I don’t get eee one ay one.
I didn’t get it the first time around, but looking at it again, and catching the goy reference, it’s El Al.
Ugh, that hurts my brain ears! I have never heard anything “care-A-mel” in Massachusetts, except someone referencing a geographical location, like “Mount Car-Mell”.
I grew up with the “Carmel” pronunciation being standard here in the 80s. In my estimation, it’s still the dominant pronunciation. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “caramel corn,” but only “Carmel corn.”
“Sherbet” is another one of these words. Three weeks ago was the first time I ever noticed someone pronouncing it with one r. Otherwise, I’ve only ever heard “sherbert.”
“SHERb’t” to much of England, but I guess that’s understandable in a non-rhotic accent where the r serves merely to modify the preceding vowel.
Heck, the first few times I noticed “sherbet” in print, I thought it was some kind of error with the writer conflating sherbert and sorbet. I don’t really buy sherbet, but I would have sworn up and down to you that it’s spelled “sherbert” on the packaging. Nope, it isn’t. A bit of a Manella Effect-type moment for me (though there’s probably a better name for this particular type of realization.) That said, it apparently has become an accepted variant spelling. Looks like when the word entered the language, it entered with a few spellings, sherbert included, although the source language did not have an “r” in the second syllable.
Arrr, that’s right, Squire, get 'em while they’re young, eh? 
Whoops! Sorry, Squire, I just gobbed on your carpet!
