So we have someone at work who seems to go out of their way to mispronounce names and words...some can be quite interesting. I guess every workplace has one...

Toyota = Tie-ota
Tahoe = Tie-hoe
Ford = furd
Ice cream = iced cream
steak = stick (had me a stick for dinner last night...what?)
bowl = bowel (gonna have me a bowel of soup for lunch...huh?)
shopping = chopping (heading to the mall to do some chopping...first time i heard this thought i needed to call the police)

Not to mention adding "s" to the end of many singular words:

you need to runs this for me
anyone going to the post office? i need to mails something
have a good weekends
is it fridays yet
i'm running to the bathrooms (maybe to get a bowel of soup?)
at lunch i'm runnings to the cars wash

It has gotten to the point where i see them coming and i head the other way...

You sure they aren't going to the cars warsh?

I'll never understand how people still think "irregardless" is a word!

And these are not dumb people - MBA grad VPs...

But he they sounds like a dolt when saying it!

Iggles - The mascot of the Philadelphia NFL football team

eyetalian - You know food from eyetaly

I've worked with a few that always want to add an s to Walmart: Walmarts.

I'd challenge this worker to a word duel....just you 'verse' them.

I pronounce "both" like "bowlth".

got malk?

I also heard a vendor at the Astros game selling fresh roasted peanu(t)s. Apparently in some parts of the country the t is silent.

And "for all intensive purposes".. NO. Just no.

Please don't.
They're giving you such great fodder for posts that should be marked with a spew warning.

btw, nails on my chalkboard is the word 'like', used profusely as filler in every single sentence out of most young peoples' mouths. Do they not realize how dumb it makes them appear to do this?

I caught myself saying "have a goot? one" yesterday.

My biggest pet peeves around here are:

winder
and
tomorrowl
and
irregardless
and
take and (do it this way)(fill in the blank with any ending)

How about using broom instead of sweep?

"I'll broom the floor for you."

It's worse here. Not only is the 't' silent, but people ask for them boiled ("balled").

Unfortunately, "irregardless" and "don't" instead of "doesn't" are used profusely around here. They both make me cringe.

ETA: Oh! I almost forgot about the double negatives! As in, "it don't matter none" instead of, "it doesn't matter."

ARGH!

The misuse of the word "text" and all its variations is my biggest annoyance.

"he sent me a tex"
"i text (tex-ed) him"

Or the ever popular

fi-en na.

which was shortened from fitten na,

bastardized from fixing to.

A saying which never made much sense to me to begin with.

His name is Swoop!

Yeah...I forgot the 'don't' misplacement.

"fixing to" is just a way of life down here, and i say it too. I can see where it started....if you're "preparing" supper, you are "fixing" it, so along with that, if you are "preparing" to do anything, you are "fixing" to do it.
