Had a Prof in College, really great Prof, I loved learning from him, but he was a classic mis-pronouncer of many things. For "ask" it was "ax", "sherbet" was "sherbert", "Miami" was "May am I", you get the idea. Never sure whether he did it on purpose just for giggles or if it was real.
I wouldn't consider any of the people in the photos above to be authorities on anything really. Going clockwise from top left: a singer, an ex-president, an actress, and... I don't know the last one, the one with the orgasm face.
Yeah but I'm pretty rebellious I give just the right amount of push back to get away with it. Most bosses I had and anyone above ranks, don't really bother with me cause I do the job RIGHT everything. That's why I get away with it lol so if it did annoy me I might say something haha
The best project manager I ever had was originally from New York City, and his Bronx accent often mispronounced words, mainly inserting an "r" into the word.
And there was a vice president of a company that I used to work for. When referring to the "tenets", or main principles, of the company, he called them "tenants"... That was such a serious company that anyone who saw that would have fallen out of their chair. LOL
He was once asked to explain what it meant to be a "sovereign Indian nation". His answer was " well, it means that you're a nation, and you're sovereign." Until Trump came along, he was the dumbest President in the last 50 years.
He never "meant well", it was part act, part pure buffoon. He had his business financed by the Saudi's and was essentially the first President to be appointed, rather than elected, to the position. He was Cheney's puppet for the most part.
My husband adds erroneous “t’s” to words. Let me explain: across-t, regimen-t, strewn-t, watercress-t. 🤣 No joke, we had a family friend ask if he pronounces it “penis-t.” Better believe we do now! 🤣🤣🤣
So relatable. I had VIPs of a company (three of them) that I worked with daily spell my first name wrong for 5 years. I corrected them 2 or 3 times then just lived with it and cringed for years.
I used to know a Senior Manager who wouldn't say "specific". He said "pacific" instead. He was really dumb, he must have got his job through sheer brass neck.
Superb Opinion
