My personal peeves:
Restaurateur - folks, there is no N in that word.
Conversated - just plain pretentious and wrong
Commentated - another in the same vein
Applicable - making it a four syllable tongue twister

The one that makes me crazy is when people pronounce REALTOR as if it was REALATOR.

Comfortable pronounced “Comftorble”
Jewelry pronounced “Jewlery”
Comftorbleness used as a word.
And, in CT, any word that has a double t (button, for example) pronounce “bu’-hen”.

Totally agree...
My most recent is “often” which lately is corrupted into “off-ten”....
Arggggh!
We do not “sof-ten” the butter, do we?

You need to hear Bo Dietl—he’s truly his own lexicographer. He may have trained under Norm Crosby.
