"loose" when what is meant is "lose".

I fucking HATE that.

New Yeah, but the Rat-Man already covered that, above.
Must be why it was one of the few examples that actually occurred to me, too.

New I fink pronunciation gets on my goat more
There's so much poor spelling around it's almost useless trying to stop it. Of course, I spell impeccably, I just type poorly :-)

I guess this might be a bit oz-specific, but hearing words like 'vunnerable', 'skedule', 'dee-fence' tends to make me cringe.

Can't wait til I'm a crotchety old man who can accost youths in shopping malls and tell them how we learnt to speak properly in my day :-)
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.

New Bushed!
"Nucular" really drives me up the wall. He has been saying it wrong for so long - it must be done on purpose. I can't believe there is not a single person in White House to tell W how to prononce "nuclear". What I can't figure out is why he ignores those hints.

New Eisenhower did it too, though. No indicator re
mental capacity per se. (There are other indications re That)

I thought Dubya's recent Petulance Dance (over a reporter speaking a few words in French, to the Fr. Prez IIRC) - more incendiary to sentient mammals than 'nukular'.

Here was OurPrez, behaving vehemently like.. a kid from Lord of the Flies !!

New Umm? Didn't Carter have the same mispronounciation?
Hell, Carter was a nuclear engineer.

What was Bush? Oh, that's right a failed businessman propped up by Daddy's Saudi buddys.


I think it's a southern thing.
