Guilty. I think it's a southern thing (bad excuse, I know)--I always pronounce the L and it drives me nuts when people don't. And I KNOW my way is WRONG.

Yes, the 'ax' for 'ask' gets to me too. And I used to have a boss that would say 'dest' for 'desk' and 'twicet' for 'twice'. I als cringe when people say 'Januwury' or 'Febuwury.'

Okay, my husband and everybody in his family says "All-timers" instead of Alzheimers. I have a good friend of the family who says "Buff-ette" instead of buffet. My friend's mother says "zink" instead of "sink". What about when people say, "Where are you AT?" I always tell my son to drop the at!!! And, I just can't stand when after every other word a "you know what I mean?" has to follow.

Oh yeah, my husband's grandfather says "Taganol" instead of "Tylenol". My sister-in-law says "I had to go take some tesses" instead of "I had to go take some tests" (that one really burns me up).

That reminds me of that movie with Joe Pesci when he's the lawyer.......what is the movie? Anyway, when he keeps saying "youts", and finally the judge says, "What, sir, is a yout?"
