That's a charming one. I'm not sure if that originated as inserting "whole" into "another," in the manner of "abso-loving-lutely," or if it's genuine ignorance.

Do you mock them by offering a half nother or three-quarters of a nother?

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The way british people pronounce 'aluminum' is a nighmarescape.

I'm p sure the word "sixths" violates English phonotactics and should be stricken from the lexicon or maybe we can donate it to some Slavic language

Pronouncing French names and words with -ay on the end and especially correcting someone when they pronounce les "les" instead of "lay" even though both are equally wrong as gently caress.

e: Also, not pronouncing Kant exactly like oval office because either your German teacher or your philosophy teacher was a lying piece of poo poo.

What is the correct way to say Porsche? Seems people always used to say it as one syllable but now people are saying it with two. Are people just extra douchey now or was it being pronounced wrong before?
