The way some people pronounce jewelry and realtor makes me wince. I never say anything, but I feel a secret burning rage for people who add a non-existant syllable to the middle of those words. (Which is, unfortunately, most people where I live).
"Nukular" never fails to make me seethe a little bit internally.
We went to the Li-berry.
Now I want to go to a Li-ber-ary, can someone invent that so I can go to one?!:-P
I get a similar thing when people say "comf-terble."
I feel called out. I know how it's properly pronounced, but I can't make my mouth put those sounds in that order. It's uncomf-terble.
Jewellery is actually spelled with the extra syllable outside of the US.
What about Wednesday?
While we're at it, it's turmeric, not choomarick.
How are people pronouncing realtor wrongly?
Ree-luh-tur instead of reel-tur.
Crazy!
