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?

I want to murder people for saying aks. It is ask you twat.

'sgonn' (say skonn) is a Gaelic word. However, there is dispute as to whether the Scots actually invented scones. Similar delicacies appear in many different countries.
But the word 'scone' in modern English is based on the Gaelic 'sgonn', so it seems logical to use the proper pronuciation. After all, 99% of Scots do: www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/survey-report-icphs.pdf

And 'idyllic' - a lot of people pronounce it with a long 'i' like eye-dyllic'. I suppose they think it's related to the word 'ideal' but it's not.
Even heard TV voiceovers pronouncing it like this, often. Gives me the rage.

More of a written one really, but it drives me crazy when people use slither when they mean sliver. I suppose they think sliver sound common.

I see this frequently in books. In one I was reading a while ago everyone kept having 'slithers' of this or that, as in 'slithers' of cake. It became so annoying I actually couldn't finish the book.

oh idyll confused with ideal drives me batty!

we knew a minister who always said curator instead of creator etc - so God was always sounding like a meagre museum attendant rather than the divine inventor of the universe.

I seeing more and more 'defiantly' for definitely. .. It totally changes a sentence!

Yes it does! I suppose it's one of those that gets past the spell checker.

"Appraise" for "apprise".
