seeing deadmau5 on the front page made me think of a friend of mine who unironically thinks it is supposed to be said as "dead mau five"

another friend used to think A1 sauce was called "AL sauce" we know cause he asked for it once in a restaurant.

we all probably know somebody who pronounces gyro with a hard g like gyroscope.

what are some common things friends or people you know cant pronounce?

a lot of my friends pronounce "nice to see you" as "gently caress off," which is an odd mistake to make

In Ohio all the Italians call bell peppers "mangos". I don't know why other than Italians are borderline retarded

I had a home ec teacher who called parmesan cheese "par-mee-see-on"

Every day I prayed she'd just never wake up, I hated her so much for it. Especially because everything we made relied heavily on parmesan for flavor. I can make 6 different flavors of parmesan popover party puffs

we used to have this thing called "platinum membership" where i worked for VIPs and a coworker who wasnt from the US always called it "platinium" because of how people outside the US add the extra letter to alumnium i guess. why do people insist on adding extra syllables to words that already exist. like what the gently caress was wrong with aluminum

i have one friend that is really proud to know that in many cases you are supposed to say "<other person> and I went to go do something" instead of "<other person> and me" when you're the subject of a sentence. but he blindly applies it across the board because he isnt as smart about grammar as he thinks so he'll say things like "that cake is for <other person> and I" and then argue when i say it's wrong

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.
