OT: Mispronunciations you hate

[joober jones]

I personally can't stand it when someone doesn't pronounce the letter t when it comes after an n.

For example: "innernet" instead of the proper "internet"

Another is when people say "hundrit" instead of "hundred".

What are yours?

I hate hunnid even worse

 

[temery]

Samwich instead of sandwich.

what about hunnid? as in 4hunnid?

 

[mussels]

First you say you don't like it when people don't pronounce the t, then you get upset when they chuck in an extra.

Sounds like all dhis social dissening is gedding do you

Shaved ice. IT'S SHAVE ICE DAMMIT

 

[LIuconn]

Not a pronouciation but when folks write EST during daylight saving time. ET is never wrong!

wooder ice in Philly.

 

[geordi]

People keep mispronouncing D-U-K-E. It’s pronounced Puke.

 

[Citrusdog]

Worcestershire

Pronounced: Wuss-ter-sheer

 

[Get a Job]

These aren't mispronunciations, but a couple of pet peeves I have are:

Acrossed instead of across

Whenever instead of when, for example, "Whenever I was 5 years old, a clown ate my cat."

Irregardless...not a word

People in CT who say they've got an idear...new englanders tend to drop letters, not sure why they decide to add an r

 

[87Xfer]

Not a pronunciation thing, but I'm pretty sure an object is 10 feet long, not 10 foot long. And cars travel at 60 miles an hour not 60 mile-n-hour.

 

[Leebo]

Shaved ice. IT'S SHAVE ICE DAMMIT

Except when it is. Shaved ice and shave ice are both concepts that exist.

As an inside joke, my wife and I overuse irregardlessly to one another at every chance.

Samwich instead of sandwich.

When they say sangwich bothers me more.

My mom is Sicilian and often would drop the letter H out of words. "Ready to go ome?" Would always get me going.

 

[Fishy]

I hate when people say words.

I hate it even more when they expect a response to their words.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

"For all intensive purposes"

Oh you shouldn't of

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Samwich instead of sandwich.

And yet, sammich is ok

 

[Stainmaster]

Oh you shouldn't of

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans...

 

[PChoops]

I misspell on purpose

 

[UconnMICK]

“VIN number”

 

[Sky ball]

Not spelling but using the term Co- Conspirator. Redundant...you can't conspire with yourself. Just Conspirator please.

 

[HCCForever]

“VIN number”

I hate that and PIN number for same reason.

I also hate when people say “I could care less”
