Some people just can't say certain words. My mum - no matter how hard she tries - cannot say 'cathedral' - she says it 'cath-ear-dral'! Perhaps poor Gary has a similar problem?

Every Monday morning I have a work meeting. My manager loves going in detail or as he says To be pacific.
It takes every ounce of self control not to shout out Its Specific you are not an ocean.

I used to have a manager who regularly accused us all of being 'lapsidaisical'. I would put on my seriously interested face while thinking what a moron she was.

Simon Cowell says "undoubtably". Maybe you have to be incapable of speaking correctly in order to be a judge on Twat Factor.

Like Rafael Nadal, who, bless him, is getting better with his English but says SUFRACE instead of surface when talking about the tennis courts! I dont find it annoying tho, i think its hilarious.
