common mis-pronunciations

[wherethewildrosesgrow]

Since using Facebook, I've noticed a lot of people pronounce things wrongly,
Discusing instead of disgusting
Pacific instead of specific
Brought instead of bought
Tenderhooks instead of tenterhooks
and this ones my favourite....
chester draws instead of chest of drawers

It make me wonder if I'm unknowingly guilty of some without knowing ?
list the ones you've noticed, don't forget to own up to any your guilty of, I will.

Click instead of cleek for clique.
Nitch instead of neesh for niche.

This is mean but the same person who comments to people in person that they look 'really chick' also uses the hashtag #sheek for her hair

She is sweet but it does make me chuckle.

This...

@OP
These are not wrong pronunciations; they are "words", some of which do not exist.

I get myself in a fluster with "effect" and "affect" but only in written form and I have no idea why. Even when I am certain this little nagging doubt creeps in. "Impact" often is the replacement.

Also spit and image evolved into spitting image over time due to people mispronouncing it.

marshmellow for marshmallow. Dirves me nuts.

What about when people say " chest of draws" and when they say "I text" instead of "I texted"?

Op don't you mean mispronounciations?!

When "baited breath" is used instead of "bated breath".

A friend of mine recently used the expression "in one foul swoop". She is actually very clever/educated so I suppose it can happen to anyone. (Except me, of course!)

Do people really say discussing?

delicate, I know they are actually written words, but I sure as they are written wrongly, this is how the author pronounces them

When ect is used instead of etc.
I

everdene It's mispronunciations.

Expresso instead of the correct espresso.

Click instead of clique, including clicky instead of cliquey, is the only one that really irritates me, other than that I don't really care.
Although I would like to know if things are blatantly or patently obvious, I always thought it was blatantly but have stopped saying it now after being corrected too many times.

everdene i'm with you on this one, but my spell check thinks other wise, I googled it/spell checked, got the nun, so I went with that

I would like to know if things are blatantly or patently obvious

You could use either to the same effect.

The "b's and e's" instead of bee's knees. That made me chuckle this week

@wherethewildrosesgrow

Erm...it's otherwise.

Please delete if not aloud.

Expresso instead of the correct espresso.

Some dictionaries give expresso as an acceptable variant.

"Simular" really grates. DD(6) does it all the time

I assumed everdene was making a joke about how people often mispronounce mispronunciation by saying mispronunciation. Ahem. As you were.
