Better than a cold one.
If you want to hear a plethora of mispronunciations, talk to homeschoolers. They never hear the words that they read in their head due to lack of classrooms and other human contact.

Teenage guy told me he "loves re-gah" when talking about reggae music.

When I was seven, one of my friends told me about the Hardy Boys book "the case of the Chin-saw Junk" (Chinese junk).

I have a friend who uses "seen" instead of "saw" and it drives me up the wall.

"I seen the movie yesterday."

yeah what the gently caress is with absolutely no one being able to pronounce reese's pieces correctly?

It's always this weird pronunciation that sounds like "reesies peesies" or "reesy species"

That's the most retarded poo poo

no sorry the person I'm talking about is from new england and lives in tennessee, which makes it even better because everything he says is tinged with a weird mixture of both of those ridiculous accents, sounding something you'd expect out of a guy wearing a bruins jersey with a spring of wheat between his teeth

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"

Are you sure it's not on purpose? I do the same thing because it annoys people who think of a DJ as a performer and not as just the monkey in charge of the stereo.

theres a lot of words people I know use incorrectly and all of it frustrates me but the only thing I get head banging mad about is improper use of the word 'literally' like when someone injects it into a sentence as an emphasis

the only point of the word is to never use it like that

Webster has updated the meaning of "literally" to also mean "figuratively"

My friends don't say things incorrectly because if they do I will immediately correct them, which they appreciate greatly.
