What words do you hate when someone pronounces differently than you?
Original post by NovemberSue
I hate when people say on-velope instead of envelope. I also hate when people say fuss-trated instead of frustrated.

I hate how the letter R randomly appears in words. I also hate when people mispronounce big words they use to make themselves look smarter and just look so DUMB.
Also - the word Pianist
Sounded out - PEE (accent here)- A- NIST not PEE-A(accent here)-NIST
THE GUY IN THE COMMERCIAL FOR THE MOVIE KEPT MISSPRONOUNCING IT!!!! UGHHHHHHH

An old coworker took to using the 'word': belivid. As in, 'I was so belivid that I didn't get that raise!'. Um, no such WORD as BELIVID. What a dolt!

I just read all three pages and I was laughing my head off, I felt like making up a poem with all the mispronounciation, but I will leave it for another day
I hate when people say irregardless, there is no such word, it is regardless.
I hated when people add an ed to a word that is already past tense ex. He lookted so good, hello, are you creating your own words here
I hate that people add R at the ends of words that are not there
I work with 2 people here that always use words in the wrong context or mispronounce a word and just keep going. I just want to scream. Reading all of these made me question myself about how many of them I am guilty of.....NONE
