Crazydog, for a professor to carry on like that is absolutely reprehensible. If she didn't then have tenure, I hope she never did get it. Someone with that little self-control has no business teaching. How awful for you.

Chip, you just gave me a flashback! there was a Sister Leo Joseph in my parochial school in Massachusetts in (gulp!) 1966. First grade teacher. My twin brother had her and I had the other first grade teacher. My mother would pack Twinkies or something in my lunch and I was supposed to go give one to my brother but Sister Leo Joseph wouldn't let me interrupt HER classroom's lunch (finally got my nice teacher, Sister Ruth Marie, to intervene).

How about when someone says (or writes) 'since' when he means 'sense?' That one gets me. When the person means "That makes no sense," he often writes, "That makes no since." I seldom see those two words confused in the opposite way. Most people will write or say, "Since my baby left me, I seem to have no common sense." Love this thread; there are many common errors and unorthodox ways to pronounce things.

Nahm Abram of "The New Yankee Workshop" on PBS builds beautiful furniture with lots of 'drahs' for storage. His accent just slays me.

Lisa just admitted she confuses PITCHER for PICTURE, She contributes it to her handicap that she can't pronounce the word <She is partially deaf in one ear>

"Up" talk. That's the best description of it I've ever heard Tobor7!

When I was around 7 or 8 and learning to pronounce words phonetically at my Catholic school (many, many years ago!) I was reading a book aloud to my mom about Mary and Joseph traveling to Eggapet.

I remember her asking me..."where?" several times, until in frustration I said "Eggapet...E-G-Y-P-T!"

Years ago, I was driving my mother and young daughter to the store when they began conversing about what my daughter wanted to be when she grew up.

My daughter (8 at the time) expressed her desire to become a jet pilot. My mother (always the optimist) said, "But what would you do if the plane was going to crash"? My daughter explained she would push the "erection" seat button. My mom quickly corrected her by saying "it's not the erection seat, it's the "ejaculation" seat. I managed to keep the car on the road.

My mother still insists she loves to sit in the "kajuzzi" (jacuzzi). Ya gotta love her :)

Hi guys! The way Lisa talks is very typical of hard-of-hearing and deaf individuals. I know because I am one of them. I often sound nasal or slurred. I mispronounce a lot of words. Although there may be more going on than a hearing loss, I like to give Lisa the benefit of the doubt when it comes to her speech, especially now that she finally attributed it to her disability. I've appreciated seeing the many posters who handled this thread with humor and not in a way that is condescending or derogatory to Lisa.

I can kill some words! I spent years and years pronouncing Yosemite as "yoze-mite" instead of "yo-sim-mit-tee." When I was a little girl I pronounced idiot as "i-dot" with a long i!

My almost-four-year-old has been watching the "Harry Potter" DVD too much. Yesterday she came up to me & said in a perfect British accent, "Mummy, may I watch Harry Pottah?"

Sia, you made me laugh. My sister and her husband and three kids spent two years living in England. Right after she came back, she was out gardening and sniffing (allergies) and her three-year-old, who had spent most of his life in England, asked her in HIS little part-British accent, "Mummy, are you weeping?"

I don't know why...but my mother always pronounced pizza like Pisa (you know, the leaning tower). Still bothers me.

I had frank sex education discussions with my children as soon as they started asking questions. You never want to be in a store with two preschoolers when they start arguing about a potential baby brother/sister and have one of them shout out "Na uh!! Mommy takes a pill to kill the squirm!"

I loved the way Julie OVER pronounced PICTURE when she said, "select the picture..."
She must read this board!
