Also, the person who sells your house is a REAL tor and not a REAL ATOR. There is no "a" after the "real".
It is ValenTINES Day and not ValenTIMES Day
A JEWELER sells JEWELRY. H/she does not sell JEWL ARY
I sleep in my BEDroom and not my BETroom
And finally, I ASK you a question, but I do not AXE you.

When I hear that, it actually makes my hair stand on end.
If we all sang the same note in the choir, We'd never have harmony

Some people put shingles on their ruff but I have a roof
Then there are those who borrow books from the liberry instead of the library

I have very crappy high frequency hearing and when I spell my name to someone over the phone they often hear "F" when I say "S". I try to over emphasize the "S" but I apparently don't get enough feedback from my own ears to know how I am pronouncing it wrong.
Roof vs Ruff is just regional dialect. Some pronounce the oo like in soon, others like in soot.
Light Travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. <br />We were born with two ears and only one mouth ... Think about it!

Same with route. Some pronounce it like root, and others pronounce it rout (rhymes with grout).
Here in NC a funny thing I've seen pop up a few times is that there are many people who cannot pronounce Massachusetts. On quite a few occasions, I've heard it pronounced Massa-two-sits.
You can't fix stupid.

Ha ha - so true! What about -" I am committed to that 150 percent" as if can one put forth more effort than 100 percent? Or those who must sprinkle the word "literally" into all sentences. It is a useless word. If you use it correctly "it is literally snowing outside" you are restating the obvious. If you use it like most people these days, it actually expresses something that is, uhm, not literally true "I will literally explode if I eat one more piece of pizza." "That movie was so scary that I literally jumped out of my skin."
A few more - ATM Machine (automated teller machine machine) - PIN (personal identification number number) - needless to say (if it is needless to say it, then why say it?) - past history - and final outcome (aren't all outcomes final?)

Funniest Massachusetts mispronunciation:
About 5 years ago Jessica Simpson told Jay leno that she pronounces Massachusetts as "massive-two tits".

I visited my hometown years ago and they all told me I talked funny. Lol.

I know a couple who allow their children to call them by their first names. That irks the hell out of me!

I'm with you Daisy. People need to be nicer to each other. A little courtesy goes a long way.
