Another one from my youth. I grew up living on a creek and it seemed like everyone I know pronounced it crick.
ohhh i heard the crick one recently.... it made me angry!!! I can understand if you're from the deep south or out deep in the country in the mid west but we have people living in ontario living 2 minutes from a city saying it that way... the wannabe redneck is by far worse than the real thing!

oddly enough these are the same people who use the phrase 'up shits creek' all the time. Now tell me, has anyone in history uttered the words: up shits crick before? Of course not...
