It's called a joke, moron.

And seeing as you decided to call me a moron, i figured i'd best point out your ignorance. Do you even know the meaning of the word <i>ebonics</i>?

I don't think the way the average white american pronounces words has anything at all to do with ebonics. Go fist yourself.

Isn't it great? :glugglug :winkwink:

Mine is a spelling error: Loose instead of lose. Chaps my ass everytime.

PS - Thanks for the new tagline idea. I'd been trying to think of something fitting, lol...

You're definitely not the only one. I could correct at least 5 people every single day on that one... but it's not worth it.

Anyway, one that always bugged me was my mom always calling a butterfly a flutterby.

She liked to mix up the letters in words to make them sound funny. And that actually was her intention.

Bugged me though, until I researched it and found out that it was infact originally called a "flutterby" because that is what it does.

Some other dweebs out there used to mix their letters for fun and it stuck.

Go figure :1orglaugh

All women are fucked in the head! Surely you realize this?

We have a saying here in Australia: "If stubbies had twats, we'd throw rocks at women!"

"stubbie" = 375ml bottle of beer.

Who and whom seem to be big problems for some people. It's really easy if you understand what a proposition is (prepositions are words or expressions like to, with, by, under, across from). When the "who" word has an actual or implied preposition, it's "whom." Otherwise, it's "who."

hehehehe... I see myself as a hard drinking diplomat! :winkwink:

Not necessarily a mispronounced word, but the plural of wasp always brings a smile to my face...just say it.

I noticed boneprone makes this mistake! :thumbsup

Well, you are close. There are some exceptions like...

Go Fuck Yourself :321GFY

:1orglaugh
:Graucho

GO FUCK YOU SELF...

What does it say about you... You obviously can make a joke, but apparently can't take one.

How about some cheese to go with that wine?

The most mispronounced word is probably ask. AXE

I purposely misprounce warez. Warez sounds kinda gay so i call it warz

Oh, you were pretending to be stupid? My mistake.

Bush always says this one and it drives me crazy.
"Nuk-U-lar"
MSNBC actually did an article about Bush fucking it up all the time.

"Feb-yoo-ary" for "February,"

I don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce that word "February" I know I say "Feb-yoo-ary"

Amen.

what really irks me the most is grammatical errors. grr!



i really, really hate to say this, but you are partially correct:

HOWEVER, if you go to the merriam-webster dictionary site, you get this:

AND, all of their entries have a small sound byte of the correct pronunciation. if they are correct, then you my friend are not :)

http://www.m-w.com/home.htm

yourdictionary.com says:

and they also included a small soundbyte, of which i shall include here:

correct pronunciation of aluminum

webster's unabridged also lists both pronunciations as correct, however dictionary.com says 'aluminum'.

stalemate, and indeed overkill.

A lot of people seem to say "H-URRR" and "TH-URRR" around hurrr. Country grammar has taken over.

and people who say sofa instead of chesterfield and soda instead of pop and lite instead of light and don't know when to say 'whom'

morons

Aluminium is pronounced the way it is spelt. Aluminum is pronounced the way it is spelled. They are both correct.

yeah, sucks, doesn't it? thus my comment to a "stalemate". after looking through several sources, as i quoted, it was about 50-50, although all the soundbytes were pronounced the "American" way. hence "if this is correct, you are not".

Ummmm... you realise the language you speak is "English" and not "American" don't you? The only authoritative source on the English language is the Oxford English Dictionary.

As it says at it's website: "The accepted authority on the evolution of the English language from 1150"

comfortable is pronounced both ways.. look it up.. both are acceptable in English. :)

It bugs me when people call me Brandon. My name is Brendan. A friend of mine, his dad calls me Brandon 90210. Has been for years. He still thinks it's hilarious. lol.

Aluminium is the proper, English pronounciation. It is used in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Aluminum is solely used in the USA.

Same goes for words such as colour, favour, honour, neighbour, etc. Americans drop the 'u' in each case.


It irks me when people pronounce cache as cashay instead of cash. Also, sangwich instead of sandwich.

Bash the shit out of him.

He won't do it again.

:glugglug

I've always pronounced cache as kay-sh.

Haha, nah. I don't mind it when he does it. 'Cause he does it jokingly. But it's so annoying when people don't know the difference between Brendan and Brandon. You say it to them, and they'll say "That's what i said!"

Bah.

ok, i have a rebuttle to the spellings and usage of americans, including but not limited to aluminum. but, i am way too tired to type it. i tried, it didn't work, and i have to get up early.

there are two clear dialects and/or accepted pronunciations and spellings of the word, which i believe neither to be 'incorrect'.

Isn't it pronounced similar to "catch"?

It's funny how this fag can take a dick up his ass, but he can't take a joke.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
