    When people pronounce "chimney" CHIM-LEE. Drives me nuts for some reason.

    Your observation reminded me of Chumlee from that Pawn Stars show. That guy cracks me up.

    Funnily enough, the only people getting stressed about this thread are the ones telling people not to worry about other people.

    All words are creations of humans used for the purpose of communication with other humans. If a human uses a word and it communicates as expected who is to say it's proper or not. Given enough time and popularity this made up word will enter the lexicon of human speech.

    This may be just where I live, but I hear the word "libary" instead of "library" a lot... it pisses me off lol
    Also, when people say Valetime's day instead of Valentine's day.

    YES! It would send shivers down my spine to hear something so offensive.

    As I am reading this my 2 year old had me writing letters on a paper so he could tell me what they were. I wrote an "R" and he says "aah"... yep you gotta love that Boston accent. Talk about NOT pronouncing things right. hahahahaha

    Words I'd Only Read And Never Heard Said, Then Felt Stupid When Someone Called Me Out For Pronouncing Wrong

    Albeit = Al-Bait
    Chagrin = Chah-Grin
    Colonel = Col-en-al
    Ravine = Rah-vine
    Caveat = Cah-veet

    Now you may all shoot lasers with your eyes at me!

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

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

    Snap! Guilty of the first.

    I may think of this virtually every time I say this particular phrase in the future.

    Hearing someone say Lie-Berry is indeed horrifying, unless it's my 5 year old saying it in which case I encourage it. That little girl melts my soul sometimes.

    I love Chumlee. I'd probably fangirl if I ever saw him in person.
    (I had to chuckle to myself for a moment, the Swype function on my phone replaced person with prison. That would have made for a far more interesting post)
