The I hate when people pronounce words wrong thread

Fixed.
That's one of the few words that bothers me "y'here"....And a lot of my friends are redneck ranchers and oval track racers so I here it all of the time.

My buddy from Inidana says "crayon" as "crown", I never heard that before in my life.

I hate to hear the word "data" pronounced with a short "a" sound. I know it's proper, but a science teacher I had a LONG time ago pronounced it that way. I hated that bitch, she made me sick, and everytime she said it, I wanted to just choke her. LOL
How 'bout "preventitive? Doesn't "preventive" work?
As for "y'all", the wife is from PA, and she says "yins". I know we all speak funny to someone, depending on where you live, but another one is from my 10 years in Florida...Would you like some Flarida arange juice? C'mon...say it with me- FlOr-ida Or-ange. To be fair, some fellow Buckeyes actually think they are "Buck-as". Yea, theres supposed to be long "I" sound there...not a short A sound.
Im sure I'll think of more. You'll see- Im feexin' d' tellye.

You want to know what's funny? I was raised saying nuecular...it wasn't until my freshman year tech class in 2004 when my teacher failed me on a presentation for not saying nuclear right. I'm still working on it, so far so good I think...but every now and then I slip one out

I hate when he says 'diabeetus'. It sounds like he's saying 'die and beat us'.
#47
He is, duh. He realizes what negative impact on the world seniors are, and knows that if he were younger he'd beat them to death too, so he's just suggesting a solution.
Anyway, I saw Dustin post this in another thread and thought I'd post it here.
Lose = fixed.

I cringe when I hear people trying to pronounce "Worcester". It's funny because they can go to a restaurant and ask for Worcestershire sauce for their steak and pronounce "Worcestershire" correctly, but then pronounce the name of the city as
'War-chest-er" or "Warster"
I was on a flight from Detroit to Worcester and the co-pilot of the aircraft stated
FYI: It is pronounced "Wister" or in the Boston area accent "Wistah"... as in
'War-chest-er" or "Warster"

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Captain has asked me to let you know that have begun our descent into Wor... War... Woo.. hell, you know where you're going!
I went to Wistah to buy a tostah for my sistah, ya bahstid!

Worcester = Wister?
the one sounds nothing like the other... less syllables too. That's one that almost no one that isnt from Boston would know. Not fair to expect everyone to get that one right if they have never heard of it before.

My girlfriend, her Mother, and her brother don't know the difference between BOUGHT and BROUGHT. I have just about beat it out of the girlfriend but man it gets on my nerves when her Mom says something like "I just brought it at the store, brought it home and......"
