Its what happens when someone spells it phonetically because they've never seen it written before or didn't know that's how you said it. when they did see it written.

Yeah I know, I'm just griping.  I've been seeing it quite bit lately from people who should be educated enough to know better.

it's why I always pronounce it "Vie-oh-la!" or say "fox paws" (faux pas)

Even worse is the majority of the population who speak numerical values with the word "and."

One hundred and forty-two.  Where the hell does anyone see and in 142?

It bugs the ever-loving shit out of me each time I hear someone say "I COULD CARE LESS".  In fact, I'm the only person I know that says it properly.

"Voila" is not the same as the musical instrument, the "viola".



Loosely translated,  "voila" is French for "There ya go!"

Care to guess how many times I've read about one of Obama's speaches?  Who the hell says that?

While we're on the subject, a baby born butt or feet first is breech.  When someone reneges on an agreement it is a breach of contract.  No, they're not interchangable.  

Oh.  And you take a peek at the map so you can climb to the peak of the mountain to investigate something that piques your interest.  

Again––––-not interchangable.
