They should all be shot.

See also: chewmeric, cardamon, and cummin.

Yes I know this is unreasonable. Especially for cummin.

I think you'll find 'Livin' on a prayer' is a car-tune. Grin

isnt't it 'kurkuMA' rather than 'curcumin'?

Car-tune always makes me laugh.
Kept waking in the night and thinking of random words that people regularly mispronounce. Of course I've forgotten them upon waking!
I once worked with a girl who regularly talked about the 'army corpse'.

It's definitely 'curcumin', I know because I have to buy tons of the stuff for my mother which costs a small fortune (helps her Myeloma and makes chemo more efficient apparently)!

This thread has made me laugh so much. And I've realised that I've been saying 'marshmellow' my whole life...

Oh Perpendicular are you referring to my 'graph' post? Got confused for a moment. Incidentally, I have seen another thread on here about mispronunciation where a poster was chipping in about their dislike of mispronounciation and noone callled them on it. I like to think it was manners. Grin
