OT: Mispronunciations you hate

[Edward Sargent]

Samwich instead of sandwich.

If no one said samwich we would never have sammies!!

 

[Edward Sargent]

I am really tired of sentences punctuated with "like" or "ya know". I also cringe when I hear "sucks". Like you suck!

 

[uconnell]

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

My Dad was born and raised in Brooklyn,NY and he used to add an r to certain words for instance bananer.

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?

joobs, I would irritate the hell out of you.

 

[Dove]

Oh you shouldn't of

Man, I do this!!!!!!!

 

[Dove]

And yet, sammich is ok

Every chance I get. I should put sammich in the Favorite Word thread.

 

[temery]

And yet, sammich is ok

Samwich instead of sandwich.

Worked with a guy years ago who said sangwich. I think samwich would have been preferable.

I hate that and PIN number for same reason.

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

Neither can I.

 

[imno1]

Irregardless of what was said, I hate it when someone corrects or points out a grammatical or pronounciation mistake.
Oh and the use of literally

 

[RichZ]

"For all intensive purposes"

Is that really a mispronunciation, or simply using the wrong word? People who say it that way are likely to write it that way, too.

"I could care less" is great when used properly. It let's a person know you have the capacity to not give more of a damn about whatever it is being disgust, but either due to the persons personality or the subject you aren't investing the time and energy (or lack there of). You are just moving on.

I logged in to the Boneyard in Febuary supposebly to find more information about our recruited scholar atheletes.
I found most offten youz guys aksed about the recent memees involving how society will orientate their ideas revelant to the virus.
It innerested me but my libary is closed. So, after floundering around the innernet I came acrossed some verbage about how
aminals in the Artic Circle are not invected. It's a mute point as I will never go there. Will I go anywheres?
Prolly just to get my perscriptions. Meanwhile, my realator wife doesn't even put her jewlery on anymore.
This is a cruel asterick to our hunkered lives. So, I sit at home, longing for the days when I just could walk at lunch, browse the Boneyard and grab a giro and surebert. At least I feel safe financially after witdrawing my savings and coming home wid a wheelbarrelfull of cash.

Shaved ice. IT'S SHAVE ICE DAMMIT

Not by the time you are holding it and enjoying it. The ice block has already been shaved.

I hate when children say "lello" instead of yellow. Makes me want to just step on their crayons.

 

[temery]

I could care less about this topic.

I ok with that now. I had a student explain, "I stopped caring so long ago, I could care less now, but I chose not to."

 

[RichZ]

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

And most seem to say savings rather than saving in DST.

 

[cohenzone]

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

I co-agree.

 

[RichZ]

I ok with that now. I had a student explain, "I stopped caring so long ago, I could care less now, but I chose not to."

That's not an explanation, it's a justification.

This thread could just be UConn players.

 

[RichZ]

Every talking head on TV saying "the COVID 19 Virus."
What do you think the V in COVID stands for, you redundant fool?

 

[RichZ]

And most seem to say savings rather than saving in DST.

It just annoys the hell out of me when some one says "3 AM in the morning". Sometimes I get annoyed enough to ask them, "Is that Eastern Tautological Time?"

Did you wash your hands after using the ATM machine?

I believe Covid 19 is the disease, SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes to disease.

There are many different Coronaviruses. This one is SARS-CoV2 virus.
