I've had two advertising reps in recently who used "Expecially". One actually gave a presentation to a decent sized group and she said it repeatedly. Drove me nuts.

I notice that people in the midwest say, "whenever" instead of "when". "Whenever I went to the store last night I saw Joe there." "Whenever I woke up this morning I was late for work."

Warshcloth or washcloth?

Simular instead of similar.

:doh!:


Suck it n00b

visa-versa.

I worked with a lady who use to buther cliche's like no one's business.
take the ball and run with it

take the bull by the horns.

her translation: take the bull by the horns and run with it.

ugh.

I hate it when people say "aks" as in, "Let me aks you a question."

I used to live in St. Louis. People ther said Fark instead of Fork.

"As I was riding along narth farty on my harse, a fark that I had in my sharts stabbed me in the arse." No clue as to why they pronounce it that way.

I also hate it when people "text talk"
That shit can go away right now...lol

I kind of find this one interesting (doesn't bother me). One of my best friends lives in Virginia and when we visit him we usually fly into the Norfolk airport. There you get strange looks if you pronounce the city phonetically, they say Nahfuk.

Having recently relocated to Nebraska, I've noticed the weather people here call Norfolk Nebraska - Norfork. At first I thought they were saying North Fork, but they kept pointing to Norfolk on the map.

I liver in Omaha, that drives me nuts as well. Apparently there's some long ass story to why they call if NORFORK. It was a typo or something.

I lived in Whichita for a while, Kansas refer to the Arkansas river as the Ar-Kansas.

They also call the city of Eldorado

Eldor-AID-O...Hicks.

I hate that people in Missouri say Versailles -- Ver-sales.

Then there's the standard stuff such as 'for all intensive purposes'

Acrosst

Fortuitous as 'lucky'

A continued inability to use the word 'hopefully' correctly.
