I know someone that pronounces things that end in "day" with a "dee" sound. As in Mondee, Tuesdee, etc.
Things like the word "Hornady". They pronounce "HornaDAY". Weirdest thing ever. I wonder if I should point it out to them. |

I have a friend that is a pretty intelligent guy, doesn't really have problems speaking, but he'll always say "supposably" instead of "supposedly". Sure, supposably is a word, but it's not the one commonly used in the context.
One of the other ones is the name of a town. We have a town south of us named New Braunfels. He always says New BraunSfels. (with an extra S in there) |

Mother in-law,
Warsh instead of wash. The wife got pissed at me when I asked my Mother-in-law to spell wash. Also, Warshington. On some of the real estate shows. Betroom instead of bedroom. |

I have never heard anyone in Maryland pronounces it Mary-land. Everyone uses Meryl-land. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Pra-gress instead of pro-gress. Meryl-land instead of Mary-land. Everyone uses Meryl-land. It's pronounced "Muhr-lunn," as in Ball-muhr, Muhr-lunn." We we lived in Canada the kids loved looking at our license plates and asking "Where is Mary Land?" |

My father used to always get on me about 'didn't'.
He'd yell "it's DINT not didintidint.". Stupid Canadians.
For years I thought I was mispronouncing redux as re-ducks thinking it was actually re-do as in some kind of French re-d'EAU absurdcity. Stupid French. |

For some reason, and this seems to be in my town only, everyone pronounces masonry as masonary.
At the hardware store they even opened my account with it spelled that way....it's spelled correctly on both my truck and my credit application....I can't help but feel like it's the entire town just trying to screw with me. |

February.
On the wash/warsh thing, that's not a simple mispronunciation. It's a regional dialect. |

I tend to say pilla instead of pillow. I actually never realized it until I was talking to my chiropractor about shitty pillows. I noticed he was smiling on the verge of laughing and I said "okay what?" That was when he said "pilla?" I am making an effort to say pillow now.

My mom is originally from Maryland and says "wooter" instead of water.
I know a girl who says "icening" and "valentimes day" Best is the one guy I know and his dad. They practically have there own language. He was sick with "the ammonia" one time. Awning = yawning, comforter = comfortable, bilco doors = Velcro doors and on and on

One which grates harshly on the ear is "suit" of furniture, instead of suite (pronounced "sweet").
No, I don't wish to purchase a new bedroom 'suit'; I already own pajamas. |

My wife: acrosst instead of across. She always calls our male cat "her and she"
At work we purchase Sony projectors and TV's along with Da-Lite screens. Our ethnic business office calles them Sunny's and delights. We always joke with them now that another order of "Sunny Delight" is coming their way.
Coworker and friend always calls our mutual friends son Tyler while his name is Taylor. Another friend's name is Kurt. Same guy always calls him Kirk. Of course he's "Native American" from a tribe that is on the New Mexico/Mexico boarder, so I just call him Mexican or wetback. . But of course I know he's not Mexican. I've seen his Sheetrock work. it looks like shit.
