I hate when people say LIBARY instead of LIBRARY. Are you going to the LIBARY to get your learnin' on?

'Sammich' instead of 'sandwich'.0

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.0 -
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.
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.0 -
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.
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)0 -

I'm an American living in Canada and I'm cool with most stuff, but I don't like the way they pronounce pasta. They pronounce it like Past..ah, like Passta. I pronounce it pah-sta0

The British do the same thing and it is equally abhorrent.0 -

Guuuuuuurl! It's totally Pass-ta! That's how we pronounce it in England
Although, Americans often say 'bay-zil' (Basil) instead of Bazz-ill. And Oh-rag-ah-no (Oregano) instead of or-a-gah-no.
It just ain't right. :sad:0 -
I know, right. I once sent a text to my mom telling her that my toddler broke my "vagina watch" instead of "vintage watch".When people pronounce "chimney" CHIM-LEE. Drives me nuts for some reason.

My sensibilities only extend so far as what is proper to General American spoken English. I support your right to defend proper pronunciation in your own dialect!0 -
I will add another annoyance: people who live in an area for years and still mispronounce place names, despite multiple corrections by natives. I give you Puyallup. Pronounced PYOO-allup.
Also, those who sprinkle Latin phrases into conversation and mispronounce them or do not know the meaning.
Eta: Oregon is not O-re-gone. It is OR-e-gun.0 -
I get more upset when people make up their own words I.E. conversate instead of converse.
Used to get upset with this too, but now conversate is officially a word and is in the new dictionaries. Go figure.0 -

When my son was younger, he had trouble saying "cockroach". It came out sort of like "crotch rot". He felt the need to say it often in public.0 -

How they pronounce it is irrelevant to whether or not they are pronouncing the word correctly in an objective sense. If you presented that word to a well-spoken person who speaks in a general American dialect and asked them how to pronounce it, they would tell you that it is pronounced WEE-BUR.0 -

The English language is pretty much just a mush of languages pinched from everywhere else, often pronounced differently to the original. For example, 'herb' is a French word and the 'h' is silent, but most British people sound the 'h', so I'm not really convinced we can ever say there is a 'proper' pronunciation.0 -

LOL! Again, our children are immune to criticism as regards these proceedings on the grounds that they are cute as hell.0
