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.

I hate it when american movie trailers say something like "coming december three" instead of december third

I've always (vaguely, I admit) thought that AD-ult was the noun and ad-ULT the adjective.

Nope. It's a pronunciation difference, that's all.

The use of program for programme when one is not referring to a computer program.

Anyone who says 'off of' should be burnt for fuel.

Reign it in rather than rein it in. One is for a queen and one for a horse!

I recently went to write 'free rein' on a thread and realised I had no idea whether it was 'rein' or 'reign' since both seem to make sense. The consensus was that it was rein, though.

"Hubble bubble toilet trouble"* is the best on this thread so far. I might start using that when I have a dodgy tummy.

I love 'doublewoo'!

Chocolate - I'm with you. I normally shout at sofa adverts too: "It's three hundred and ninety nine!"

Delicate - or the use of 'programme' when one is.

Is it compulsory to spell it without the second M and E if it's a computer program(me), then? I might continue to ignore that rule (like the rebel that I am).

" It is Magna Carta and just that! No THE involved. Soooo, many programmes and people get this wrong."

Why is there no 'the' though? Is it already incorporated in Magna Carta. You can't really blame people for not speaking Latin!

Haven't read thread and may be repeating but

Proshekko for prosecco sounds like you've drank two bottles already.
