Words

Definitely the "C" word! The "F" word that is british for cigarette too. The word panties - if you are talking about adult undergarments they are underwear, thongs, boxers, etc.

Accents are fun and add flavor ..... adding letters and misspeaking drives me nuts and makes you sound like an uneducated moron! If you are over the age of 7 and don't have a speech impediment, enunciate and use the correct word! It's not cute after that age!

Announcers who mispronounce basic things drive me nuts too - they're on national television, yet don't know how to say the names of states correctly? WTF!

Did he call it "oak - a - la" ? Hoo-ah!

I'm more forgiving with mispronouncing town names, as there are so many different possibilities and influences. I grew up in an area with many towns etc. with Indian names and never thought anything of it until I had friends from Texas & California home for thanksgiving and they gleefully recited and mispronounced town names for days.

I totally remember this....and he's not the only one! When my mom lived down in your neck of the woods I heard it mispronouced on the news several times!

The word "anyway" when used to cut someones sentence short and change the subject. Some people were never taught the art of conversation. Anyway how about them bears!

Or the rediculous debate over the proper spelling and pronunciation of Anna Nichol Smith's poor new born.

Thanks for the welcome!
The goat plunger is hilarious; now everytime she says it I'll picture her plunging the toilet with it and giggle
"It-ly" and "Eye-talian" are a couple more that come to mind...
One that I catch myself using, and cringe every time I do - "I'm gonna"
