I don't agree with all of these.

[Professional]

I hate when people correct me for mispronouncing a word, and they slowly mouth the “proper” way....

Send these folks to Islamic nations to teach English please.

[rightwingcrazy]

You don’t need to pronounce the first “c” in arctic.

"On a personal level, I cringe when I hear someone sound the "t" in often"

Who says it 'OFFEN' ? That would make me cringe.

[Buckeye McFrog]

DEEtroit really seems to p*ss-off the locals.

[stanne]

re drew laughs back in the Thirties with his song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” in which the lovers can’t agree on the pronunciation of words like either, neither, and tomato.

Lost me here. Easy enough to find out it was Astaire singing Gershwin. Astaire was not a songwriter. At all. He was a great dancer.

[Cowboy Bob]

Wipped cream...or Whipped cream?

[Dr. Sivana]

I could agree with some, and disagree with some. The fact is that there are regional and cultural variations. “Pecan” is a major one, and I am keeping my short “a”, thank you. I will also say “fudge-ickle” instead of “Fudge-sickle”, notwithstanding that the manufacturer decrees. I will also say “cran” for “cray-on” and “dror” for “drawer” regardless of what my wife thinks.

The language is full of words that are pronounced differently than they are spelled, as one can find on Worcester on Wednesday.

[Pelham]

This is hyperbole from a grammer Nazi epigone.

[rellimpank]

——”Westconsin” for “Wisconsin” just about sets my teeth on edge-—

[al baby]

Ask is not Axe

[Red Badger]

I say PE-CAN, rhymes with ‘American’..............

[Mount Athos]

What about regional differences?
The word Pecan in his first paragraph for example, it’s pronounced that way in Louisiana and texas

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Nor do I. One that caught my eye:

4. arctic – Note the C after the R. Say /ARK-TIK/, not /ar-tik/.

Coors actually makes a beer they call "Artic Ice".

Is there a reason or are their marketing people morons?

[Zeppo]

Here are 50 frequently mispronounced words.

Indeed.

For example, I frequently hear people mispronounce "Obama" as "horse's ass".

[workerbee]

I have a dear friend who say mis-CHEE-vee-us (mischievous) and AHN-ree (ornery). Makes me crazy.

[Theodore R.]

Elec tor al, not E lec tor ehl

[BuffaloJack]

> I don’t agree with all of these.
Ditto.

[papertyger]

Thank heaven “nuclear” didn’t make the list!

[shotgun]

Back on the old “PASSWORD” tv game show the password was deer. The celebrity gave the clue “doe”. The contestant answered “knob”

[ClearCase_guy]

I could care less. Irregardless of how this guy may feel, my own feeling is that my head will literally explode if I have to hear from another grammar Nazi.
