Ah, Thoughtful Thursday. A nice way of saying I have no idea what to write about on Thursdays! So today I will share with you words, phrases, and pronunciations that annoy the heck out of me, usually for no good reason.
- Soda Pop
- Pizza Pie
- Supposably
- Hot Cocoa
- Moist (I know I'm far from alone on this one)
- Data pronounced like "datta," not "date-a"
- Nuclear pronounced "Nucular"
- Collegial pronounced with a hard g. I believe there is quite the debate among academics about the proper pronunciation, but the hard g is just too much for me.
- Especially, Espresso pronounced "Expecially," "Expresso"
- When writers include (..., anyone?) in every article instead of coming up with a new way to elaborate on something. For example, "Summer is the best! (Free sun, anyone?)"
- "I seen."
