For instance, saying "chimley" instead of "chimney" or "Valentimes Day" instead of "Valentines Day".
My friend's dad says, "K-Mark" instead of "K-Mart"
That drives me crazy! lol

There's a lot of people out there that don't know how to pronounce or spell words correctly. Makes me wonder who went to school for them... if they went to school at all!! The one that gets me the most is when people say "aks" instead of "ask", or the dismissal of consonants altogether as in the word "kitten" some people say "ki-en". UGH!! I agree, it's pretty annoying.

Hi, I take it you don't live in Canada.
When I first moved here, I just assumed that Canadians spoke English, wrong. Most use words like;
atall for at all
zed for z
rotovator for rototiller
bat tree for battery
deck cull for decal
This one is so common even the news commentators use it;
"Mary Smith went to hospital...
Everyone here drops the "the" before hospital. Drives me crazy.
I could go on and on. I even considered writing a dictionary for Americans visiting Canada.

Like people --- Alien lizard beings at the instant are not endowed with the potential to vocally spit out one in all those clusterfukk of consonants and vowels - GLoDTRA6ERHRATK certainly has a lots much less complicated pronunciation -

why should it drive you crazy how someone else speaks?, it shouldnt bother you, its mainly travellers that use this pronunciation and some irish people use similar pronunciations such as fillum for film etc

How about "hep" instead of "help", "libry" instead of "library" or "Hosple" instead of "Hospital?
I cringe when ever I hear any of them.
