    Irregardless of how you pronounce "fiscal", "nuclear" is pronounced "new-cu-lar". And "Pulitzer" is pronounced "Pew-lit-zer." :ramen:

    I have heard more than one person say "Cadillac Converter" when discussing their car's exhaust system. :jayzus:

    For the longest time, I was confused about why people would be converting fords into cadillacs ...

    course ..., I was child at the time.

    It's pronounced "give a fuck."

    Then there was the infamous "tie" line that was being installed at a local business. No one could figure out why the contract kept getting misspelled as "T1".

    And you're unable to distinguish "your" from "you're." And you'd be clueless when it came to "yore."

    You also missed the "s" in anyway.

    Oh, and that whooshing noise is the joke going over your head. :rolleyes:

    Given the plethora of corrigenda in this forum, it's surprising that you actually thought I was serious. Or perhaps that was the joke. WAB posts it = "funny." Other posters...only when he decides.

    Oh, and the "s" attached to "anyway" was a gimme.

    When I see a student write 'could of' instead of 'could've' or 'could have', I go nuclear.

    Edited for my own amusement, even though I absolutely agree with the originally expressed sentiment.

    Skin hits 'em with the paper. Or whatever they wrote it on. Laptop owners seem to learn the quickest.

    That's why any decent teacher requires students to submit assignments on cuneiform tablets. Even if they're not any more damaging than laptops, they're a lot more dramatic.

    He's in some new comedy show on FOX that the wife and kids watch.

    It's strange seeing a "terminator" in a comedy.

    My favorite mispronunciations of all time were heard when I worked at a K-8th public school. "Libary" and "supposebly" used to make me cringe! It is no wonder the scores we see are so low! These poor children have YOU as an example!
