Mispronunciation

[lainey lou]

Oh! I thought it was Baff

Thats only if you're from Bath like me!

Things like this don't really bother me in everyday chit chat. I don't mind misspellings on chatty message boards either. I DO mind when people are in a position and situation where they should know better though, Dubya being a prime example. If you have your finger on the red button, you should at the very least be able to pronounce the word 'nuclear'

Somewhere in Texas... a village is missing it's idiot!!!

... and, whilst we are at it - what the FNL happened to the L in vulnerable - when did it become vunnerable?

We run a company that deals with earthing. We often get asked to provide quotes for earthling work, as the spell checker will change earthing to earthling.

Oh dear, Madmax and I indulge in a Samwidge sometimes - when mk2 son hops into bed with us for a snuggle on a Sunday morning - he loves to get in between us and get squidged up in a SAMwidge.

That's sweet.

But what about when sentences turn into questions? That rising tone at the end of the sentence? Doesn't it just make you mad?

And like, I think, yeah, that like - yeah? it's just like everywhere? And like shouldn't you be like fined if you do this? And shouldn't you get like double penalty if you do rising sentences and like at the same time?

Just had Eastenders on and there was a scene with some girl (Chelsea I think her name is), and she answered the phone and said "sumfink" and "aks" in the same sentence!!!!

There's two that get my boat, pronunciation-wise (DON'T get me going on apostrophes!!)

The first is 'libry' as opposed to 'library', and the second is 'parliment' as opposed to 'parliament'

Apostrophe I thought that was a posh word for chemist

[mapcr77]

I also hate it when people say "effect" when they actually mean "affect". Or whn ppl writ in txt frm.

I don't mind people using text form( I use it my self) as long as it's kept to mobiles.

Newscasters who should know better, lor an order (law and order), Febury (February).

When I was working for a food company, one of the marketing people was trying to find information on a specific spice on the internet, with singular lack of success. She was pronouncing and therefore looking for tumeric instead of turmeric. I've noticed a lot of chef's on the TV do the same. It's their bloody job to know this..

My daughter had a problem with spelling whist she was growing up and I told her that if she pronounced words properly she would have a much better chance of spelling them correctly. She's now a technical writer for a well-known telecoms company.
