There is a man I work with, he is the entire accounting department for the company. He was just explaining something to me and told me he wants such and such done so he has record of the "cal-kul-ations". I dont know why, but the way he pronounces it drives me batty. Please humor me with words that drive you nuts like that?

    A lot of people around here say amalance instead of ambulance. I hate them. They also say libary instead of library. I hate them too.

    I was in a meeting yesterday where someone kept pronouncing "hover" as "hoe-ver". I don't know why but I nearly started laughing.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    I hate when people pronounce "coupons" as CUEpons.  If it was supposed to be pronounced that way, it would be spelled that way.

    People around here add random letters into things.Sweather.  Alvocado.  Warsh.  It drives me nuts and makes me mad because it makes people sound like uneducated hicks.FI always says stanima, instead of stamina.  Drives me up the wall.

    Had this discussion with FI a few days ago.  People pronounce the word "mischievous" mischevIous.  And it's not.  There's no i after the v.  Drives me crazy.

    "So didjew hear about that?"Um, it's DID YOU - two words, not one.Also dislike adding an "s" to companies that don't have one. It is Nordstrom and Tiffany, not Nordstroms and Tiffanies.

    oddly enough, I love when I hear aluminum pronounced like that. It usually is accompanied by an accent though, which hides a multitude of sins.

    Right now? I'm hating on everyone saying "fer" instead of "for". I catch myself doing it and correct myself, but EVERYONE is doing it. Everyone. Seriously, say "for".

    People who pronounce the "th" on the end of a word with an "f" sound.  So instead of monTH, it's MonF or instead of deaTH, it's deaF!  I hate this!  This is the first monf after my aunt's deaf.

    I also really hate when people pronounce clothes "close". You are NOT wearing close. You close a door.

    I'm a good Baltimoron that says wudder (something you swim in) and arnge (a color/something you eat). I know it irks people because LTB just said it did. :-)

    "I need to ax you a question" It's ASK damn it.Some people have accents therefore say ax.I hate when people call my city Cal-gary.  It's pronounced Cal-gry.  I get they are just saying it the way it's spelled, but it drives me nuts.A girl I work with won't add the letter S on things.  So she'll send out an email for my birthday lunch or something.  The subject will say "Amanda Birthday Lunch".  She has bad grammar all together.  But  yeah.I hate when people say shed-ule.  I say it sked-ual.
