    I figuratively blow a fuse everytime someone uses literally wrong. I actually whent to the Cambridge Dictionary to see how you should pronounce it and it seems both pronounciations are correct but one is British English and the other one is American English. I say it somewhere between the two examples though….

    I can confuse the heck out of people because I can do so many accents from having traveled alot in my youth. The one that gets people down here in Jacksonville is my Baltimore accent, you know Bawlmer, Merlin hun? I tend to default to that accent when Im frustrated so I say zinc instead of sink, worsh instead of wash, wooder instead of water, etc.

    Don't like it when public speakers say:

    Liberry. (Library)
    Eckspecially. (Especially)
    Nukyular. (Nuclear)

    If you want to speak in public regularly, you should probably, like, make some kind of an effort to sound like you graduated from 6th grade.

    But what if English is their second language and while they are fluent, the words aren't always perfect?

    Deport Them.

    The "L" in "salmon" is silent. Also, it's "pa-cahn," not "PEE-can." I've got a lot of these.

    You can usually tell when English is not someone's first language. I've done business with many people whose second (third, etc) language was English and had nothing but respect for them because their English is a lot better than my fluency in their language (except for German, that's my other language).

    I used to pronounce the "L" in salmon until a friend of mine chewed me out everytime he heard it. I'm more careful about it now.

    I still say "mashmellas" and "seerup" instead of "sirup"

    I had to say this a few times because I wasn't sure but it almost sounds like a bit of both a and e sound.. but probably more leaning towards the e sound.. marshmellow I guess my accent may have something to do with it.

    That’s how my mom says it. She has a serious southern drawl, born and raised in Kentucky. It only bothers me when she refers to one person as a “ya’ll”.

    I hate when people say hella. It's a northern California thing, but I hear it on occasion and it makes my skin crawl.

    My husband says "worsh"...It's time to "worsh" the car, he needs his work shirts "worshed'... However, the President is George Washington! So, if you CAN says it correctly, why do you say it like that??
    He also refers to zucchini as a "sqwarsh" instead of squash and calls attorneys "law-ures"??
    On the other hand, I sound like Scooby Doo when I try to say any word that has an "er" following an r....poorer, launderer, corer, etc...
