To get wound up by slither?

[anxious2017]

Why? Why do people say they'll have a "slither" of cake/pie? It's "sliver". It annoys me unreasonably

I'm with you. Slither is what a snake does.

They are secret slytherins, and not to be trusted. All cake and pies should be taken in slabs.

Full agreement

I avoid this problem by asking for a massive wedge.

And why do people say chest of draws and I text and reign in and drawERing?

This is very true. I can honestly say I've never asked for a sliver of anything

Yanbu - Mine is 'pacific' instead of 'specific' - once is a slip of the tongue but when you do it all the time (narrows eyes at colleague on next desk)

Feb-you-ary.

I saw a chest of drawers advertised as Chester Draws on my local buy and sell group recently!

In my local newsagent there is an advert in the window for a Chester Draws...

Ooh yes, Pacific.

Also people locally say "weary" when they mean "wary" and "wan" for "won" which isn't even a word!

I was about to say the same anxious!! Maybe we are in the same area

Wales?

Ha ha anxious, we posted at the same time...

How else do you pronounce February?!

I know it's probably autocorrect but I keep seeing defiantly instead of definitely. Drives me potty.

I should of...

ducks

Ooh and people who have found a dog "wondering". Can't resist commenting "I wonder what he's wondering" but no one ever gets it

London I'm afraid anxious......

That Chester guy gets around a bit doesn't he

Nucular instead of nuclear.

I think February may be more of an accent thing and is just me being a twat tbh. I say Feb-you-ary but as I'm sat here repeating it to myself it's actually quite a hard word to say!

I meant I say Feb-roo-ary!

Anyone who asks for anything less than a wodge of cake is UR

I say Feb-you-ary too, that's the way you said in the first post about it. Phew! I won't have to start referring to it as 'the second month'

It took me years to not say sec-yoo-tary and i still struggle to say Felicity instead of Facility

How is "won" not a word??
