    Irregardless, I'd like to conversate on this frigdiddlin' topic.

    It is ILL I NOY, not ILL I NOISE.

    ASKED not AXED

    Suh PO SEDly, not suh PO SA Blee

    "My friends and I" not "me and my friends"

    (FYI: guess what I do for a living???)

    I'm sorry, what?
    I'm offended that you're not using a browser that would have placed a squiggly red line under that when you posted it.

    My browser appreciates my genius and would never insult me so much as to correct something that is obviously a simple mistype. My browser loves me... and you.

    I get more upset when people make up their own words I.E. conversate instead of converse.

    Hey m y kid does that.

    cons-strate instead of concentrate

    ..........................and I love her for it. :love:

    Stop saying 'literally' when you mean 'virtually'.

    Stop saying 'ironic' when you mean 'sarcastic'.

    How about when MILITARY people, who should know, pronounce "cache"..."cachet" instead of "cash"? Or people say they "axed" someone a question, instead of "asked." I even prefer to pronounce plaes the way they're pronounced by their locals, but then sometimes people don't get it. Qatar pronounced "cutter" instead of "ka-tar", Quebec as "qua-beck" instead of "ka-beck." But then you run into trouble in places like Martinez, GA, where it's pronounced "MAR-tin-eze" instead of "Mar-TEEN-eze."

    This is the English language, which is a conglomerate of hundreds of dialects and a great number of words from many other languages, so pronounciation could be anything...and they're mostly all correct. For instance, the word balcony was pronounced bal-Cony (emphasis on the second syllable) up until the late 1800's. The word Ask, was originally pronounced Axed throughout the middle ages (so is technically correct).

    So, you say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to, so what...We've got bigger issues to deal with these days !

    I have major issues when the wrong "there/their/they're" is used.

    When someone says "Pacific" instead of "specific".

    I scream inside when I hear that. Like I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were talking about the ocean...

    Yes, that's a good one...people say "ironic" when they mean to say "coincidental"

    The correct pronunciation is toe-may-toe, all others are incorrect. This ruling is final and binding on all peoples in all nations.

    Who cares how people pronounce things? There are more important things to think about...like stuff in your own life. >.<

    Cornfield's all full up. We'll have to wish them elsewhere.
