... privetisation.

A woman phoning in to Jeremy Vine yesterday pronounced privatisation privetisation, as in the bush. I've just about managed to stop shouting at the radio every time I hear pryvacy but this was a whole new level of reaction for me to make the most of 😊

Schedule.

EVERYONE seems to say skedyule like Americans - not shedule like we should. Drives me mad.

Pryvacy so irritating. Privatisation am yet to hear!

Lots of ‘Trickle Treating’ moans around here on FB last week!

I've read a thread today where someone keeps writing stalls for stools. I thought it was some autocorrect thing at first but it's in multiple posts.

You've reminded me of a Jeremy vine caller a few weeks back who kept pronouncing dementia as "demenn-ta". I seriously wanted to rip my ears off!!

I like the look of pryvacy. It looks like something Sir Francis Bacon might have written about.
