    It's mostly when people mispronounce words...especially these, my Big Three pet peeves.

    chipotle (chipol-tay is the worst mispronunciation)
    supposedly (NOT "supposably"...argh!)
    voluptuous (people always wanna add an "m" in the middle, like it's volumptuous)

    My hubs loves to mispronounce words on purpose and it drives me up the wall. His favorites are: salmon (saul-min), jalapeno (jall-uh-peno), and phone (pah-hone). The other day he was looking for cinnamon and he asked the associate where the "syna-mon" was. My eye roll was so hardcore it almost got stuck there.

    I like your hubs, I do the same :D

    When people mispronounce the word Riccota... maybe it’s just the Italian me, but I can’t take it!

    What does the faux say?!

    Everyone always asks about what he has to say, but no one cares about his feelings!
