nuclear

it's not pronounced "nuke-u-ler"

6/17/2008 3:57:05 PM

I dislike both strong northern and strong southern pronunciations of light

northern - loight (like the first part of loitering)

southern - liiiite

Where in the north do they say this? I have never heard this.

Northern Australia, perhaps.

Eh, maybe not the "north" but 2 people I know from Maryland say it like this. Also white, hight, right, etc.

ahahaha, I used to work with a woman who would say this ALL THE TIME. "Lemme borrow your pin." My what?! She got teased endlessly about it.

I hate when people say "Best Buys" "Lowes" "Bonjangles" or "Starbucks" among others.

I have never heard anyone say any of these things.

I know people that refer to Kmart and Wal-Mart as "Kmark" and "Wal-Mark."

6/17/2008 11:04:56 PM

6/17/2008 11:05:45 PM

When I worked for Starbucks, we would have people calling it Starbuck all the time. It was pretty annoying. "Yeah, I love me some Starbuck!" Really, you like the character from Moby Dick? That's nice.

My dad says Best Buys all the time. I've given up trying to tell them the name isn't pluralized

6/17/2008 11:31:13 PM

height as "heighth".

6/17/2008 11:46:52 PM

language changes and evolves, or devolves in some of these cases. We can just accept it and move on instead of complaining about it online.

^^ do you asks for a Kleenex or a facial tissue?

There's a professor at State (in CHASS) who was talking about someone named Marcia Garcia.

So, naturally, she pronounced the name as Marsha Garsha.



Same professor also calls centaurs centwars.
