Creation. C. R. E. ation. Not curation.

[BertieBotts]

I swear to god I'm going to murder DH if he says this one more time.

How hard. You don't say "Carsh" instead of crash, or "Cerrp" instead of creep. Why do people insist on saying "Ceration/curative/curator" instead of creation/tive/tor?

AIBU?

CerStificate!

One day I'll completely lose it and hit him with the weapon I learned about on a MN Christmas thread - soap in a sock.

I hate ongvelope.

I say Wensday. Sorry. Do people actually say Wed-nes-day?

I get The Rage with people talking about crutches when they mean crotches. Alas it is a word that comes up a lot in mandatory training. I am usually shaking with barely suppressed rage by the end of the day.

Also (although it's more of a written thing) it is a drawER, not a draw.

Chooseday instead of Tuesday.

Yep. All these.

Also "praformance" instead of "performance". I'm looking at YOU Gary Barlow.

Rest Bite
Used commonly at work by people who should know better

Also have heard restbite and underminded. I work with a clinical professional who says hospickle which gets me every time

What about prostrate instead of prostate? I am amazed how many men have prostrate problems

And then the thing is kids can't spell these words.

I have lost count of the times I have seen "chester draws" in a list of bedroom furniture (I teach French so we always want to know what's in your room )

Oh my gosh, people who say "sennence" instead of "sentence." Angie Harmon does it, and she had to say sentence quite a lot since she played an attorney on Law & Order. Irritating.

Let me guess, steff13, you're referring in your earlier post to Bristle and the 'trailing L' aren't you - idea(l), area(l), any handily unprotected 'a' in fact! Never heard it anywhere else..

I don't know where Bristle is. I live in Cincinnati (Ohio).

DH says "oction" for "auction". I thought it might be a Midlands thing, only I've never heard anyone else say it.

Triangliar
Circliar
Ludickorous
Crudites - rhymning with Luddites

The rest bite thing makes me want to cry at work. It keeps going in people's notes.

Xh used to scream at me "There's no p in ibrufen you fucking idiot". Even showing him the packet didn't stop him. Apparently the packet was labelled by someone as stupid as me.

Dh keeps pronouncing the x in grand prix. I find it very annoying but haven't said a word.

What about 'pronounciation'? Don't those who use it ever see it written down as 'pronunciation'?

My dad has worked in the car trade for half a century but still says citreon and alfa romero. I mention it's every time but her ignores me.

My pet hate is words like suit and suite being pronounced "soote" with a long "o". I can sort of cope with it, until I get corrected for pronouncing it correctly! The "u" is there for a reason, and if you can pronounce it in "suet" then why insist it's wrong in other words (mutter mutter swear).

Brufen was the first proper brand of ibuprofen on the market, which is why a fair number of older people use it, same as Panadol for paracetamol. But to be patronisingly told by someone that they HAD to get Panadol as paracetamol wouldn't be as good despite both packets saying they had the identical ingredients, or the same with Neurofen/ibuprofen, makes me scream.

I suppose the lack of extra o doesn't occur to them Happy. I can forgive that one since the verb is to pronounce.

Also Tuesday and Chooseday sound the same to me Because the combination of T and ue sounds exactly the same as ch oo.

I'm trying to find a video of someone saying "curation" but not having much luck. It's a Warwickshire accent.

A friend of a friend always said 'torlet'
It's fucking TOILET there is no R
I wanted to physically hurt her every time

Wensday is the correct pronunciation

My ex always used to call it Cola cola. But he is an idiot.

How do you pronounce suit if not like 'soote' ?
I get suite is like sweet.

There is a sense of curate as in an exhibition or art show that's trickling down to smaller events....

I can't see the vehicle difference and not sure when I say it out loud about chooseday!

People who say "shooge" for "huge".

Well I suppose you can say Syoot but that is ridiclously posh

I know the actual meaning of curate. But he says it on stuff like "Look what I curated!" "OK we're going to curate a new world [on minecraft]" "Make sure you're playing in kerrative."

Maybe I will just amuse myself by imagining he really means curate or curative.
