10 Words You Mispronounce That Make People Think You’re an Idiot
(via onemoretimewithfeeling)
The only one of these I ever mispronounced was corrected years ago so I will sit upon my command-of-the-English language throne in judgement of anyone who thought ath-a-lete was right.
Also I move to add chipotle to this list. T before L, lord have mercy.
I say all of these correctly, but I won’t judge too harshly, as I was probably 18 before I could pronounce “Antarctica” correctly. That hard K sound right before the T really gave me trouble.
But, really how does this list not include “realtor?”

My rage at America would subside like 80% if we could just correct all these.

if it’s not pronunciation, it’s misspelling or grammar…like how some people say ‘commenters’ when it’s ‘commentators’....

Animal lover, love my dog Moose, going to the dog park, shopping, aerobics, hiking, reading, movies, traveling, dancing, swimming, sarcasm, singing, music, hanging out with my friends and family, the beach, camping, movies, learning new things, tattoo’s, music whore, rainy days where I can stay in bed, rollercoaster’s, good food, good recipes, good wine, board games, cards, animals, surprises, presents, ice cream, the mountains, motorcycles, UFC, snowboarding, volunteering with the SPCA...
**I am capable of losing every chapstick and hair ties I buy, obsessed with lipgloss and nail polish, I’m as random as the wind blows, I love to laugh, am able to trip over nothing all the time, will try anything once, love vodka tonics, tofu, new recipes, and am a sucker for Mexican food! I love quotes, if I find some I absolutely love I'll print them out and keep them in a folder, I'm obsessed with owls and butterflies, I love all desserts but always want a cupcake, I floss daily because I have a fear of skuzzy breath.
