And I don't mean an accent, I mean ignorant mispronunciations....

I hate it when our President says nuke-you-lar. It's pronounced nu-cle-ar, and our President should know better.
Pronouncing the b in subtle also gets under my skin. It's silent.

i'm no longer even a democrat yet those final 8 years listening to the chief of united states say new-q-ler has approximately pushed me over the sting. i think of my head will explode if I gotta hear Palin say it for 4-8 extra years! And the cat/motor vehicle Jaguar has in basic terms 2 syllables. that is not jag-you-warfare or Jag-twine! (I stay interior the south and people right here say Jag-twine. It drives me slightly nuts yet I are conscious of it...jag-warfare is the spectacular way, yet they are asserting "twine" like "warfare" so i assume it by some potential is clever...)

My mom mispronounces a lot of stuff... like umm.. the "male organ" ::cough cough:: she pronounces it like it is spelled... pen ....... is
just say that fast. Thats how she says it. It annoys me. She says so many words with a British accent... and she was born and raised in North Carolina. Hah

Subtle: because when people pronounce the "b" it goes against the very meaning of the word
Mischievous: There's no "i" after the "v" ! It's not mis-chee-VEE-ous!! It's mis-che-vous!
You'rs: this is something you will never, ever see in proper use of the English language. There is no way to say "you ares", but people spell it this way all the time, and it drives me crazy.because it is not even a true phrase!

Burger = Booger. Cinnamon = Cinnanim. Valetine = Valetime.
Sandwich = Saandwich (they overpronounce the a).. so many more.

There is a girl at my office who says "promiscuous" instead of "presumptuous". She's on the phone with clients and says, "I hope I'm not being too promiscuous by asking you out for lunch". Yep, believe it.
Also people who say 'pacifically' instead of 'specifically'. UGH
