i'm not a grammar/spelling nazi, but something reminded me of things my niece mispronounced incorrectly as a little kid... that we all got a chuckle out of it.
when she was very young... she'd talk about boys and "girs". she also like watching "squirs" run up/down trees.
she had some great ones as she started honing her word attack skills. that Arnold schwarzenegger movie was "PRE-dater". cinderella became a "prink-us". she saw a sign posted urging people to slow down... she pronounced it (whoa) WHO-AH!
my sil pronounced a certain type of salami gen-OH-a.
now me... well, i'm perfect, so never mispronounced a single word in my life. it's a dialect that lead to how i pronounce certain words.
h20 = wooder
that boat that can carry people AND their vehicles is pronounced the same as word to describe a grizzly bear.
that southern vacation destination state is pronounced flARida. it's where we get ARanges.
