This might be harsh, but imo that's just stupidity!

Especially in a professional correspondence...

When I worked at Wachovia (pronounced Wakovia) it would drive me nuts when people would pronounce it Watchovia. I could say it correctly in the interaction 15 times and it wouldn't make a difference.

And the inevitable cheesey joke got old...Watch ova ya money.... ugh

OMG, the president of our credit union does that! It drives me crazy!

sopuno, when they took over First Union in NJ (the F-U bank), we called the Walk-over-ya...

Life long Oregon resident here! Actually it is pronounced OregIN or OregUN! A little joke when someone says OregON is Oregon hasn't GONE anywhere! (lame, but gets a point acorss I guess?)

Perhaps "your" just being "two" sensitive.

This.

This drive me insane. Literally.

Buccs, your just a big looser over their.

The you're/your, their/there/they're and looser/loser thing kills me.

But that's another thread in itself

I can't pronounce "council" right like in student council.

Literally?

Or are you using hyperbole?

Currently I am sitting in a bathtub full of icewater screaming at the top of my lungs AG.

Literally. Joe Biden literally.

Sorry.. a little town outside of Madison WI, not the state. I agree, the state is pronounced oreg'in', the town here though, oreg'on'

what really bugs me are the so called experts on the Military History channel that have decided to pronounce Ghengis Khan with a J

Jingas Khan

when did it change?

I just thought I was watching TLC and thought is was another Duggar baby.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it changed when John Kerry came back from Viet Nam (he has the hat to prove it) and provided his expert testimony at congressional hearings while using the "J"....

well I hope they get the correct pronunciation figured out soon because you wouldn't want to feel the wrath of khan

get it!? wrath of khan?

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha



oops, I think I peed a little

got it! i'll be sure to make a mental note in case i ever visit the town of oregON!

Had to report back that I did indeed write down the word Corpsman and asked my husband (and his friend) to pronounce it and it was just like Obama - CorPsman. My friend and I laughed so hard, so then I went back to the cupboard word and he again pronounced it cup-board. I went into hysterics so I then wrote colonel and he said colonial. My friend and I were rolling at this point. Again, he argued with me that it couldn't be kernel because there was no R in it. Just made us laugh more! Fun weekend!

When I call in a prescription, the pre-recorded message for my local pharmacy pronounces the city's name wrong. New Berlin - it's New Burr-lynn, not Berlin like the city in Germany. Drives me crazy everytime.

My daughter's name is another thing that people just cannot say right, nor can they spell it. At least I can say she has a pretty unique name.

How about I need to "axe" you a question instead of "ask". I cringe when I hear it.

It is the Braz-us Valley, not the Bra-zoos Valley!
