Everyone made fun of her for years behind her back and we still do now that she has long since moved on to another job.

Does your spouse pronounce any words in a way that drives you crazy?

Wife is southern. Says I-talian. It's like nails on a chalkboard

Frank Castiglione

8/9/18 2:14pm

See. You have to correct that one day 1. That one just makes you look uneducated.

Baron

8/9/18 2:16pm

Have you ever tried to correct a southern woman?

Frank Castiglione

8/9/18 2:17pm

If you marry a woman that can't be corrected, that is your own fault.

Baron

I just had to weigh the risk vs the reward. I feel good with my decision.

Frank Castiglione

Me too.. i mean i say it that way..mainly because I use to and know better

I imagine that doesn’t go over well with your family, Mr. Castiglione

Drownding. Her whole family says that instead of drowning.

Druick

8/9/18 2:15pm

I'm a little worried about her family if that word is so often used that you notice it's pronounced wrongly.

SpecialT

headache. I don't know. Just whenever she says it, I get frustrated.

I just got an ab workout from laughing so hard at that one.

Backcountry

8/9/18 2:17pm

Re seas I’ve heard in a few states. I’ve heard it back east.

Druick

8/9/18 2:20pm

No. I mean the word ..."No". I don't like the way it sounds from her.

CarolinaCoug

8/9/18 2:21pm

I love my wife, but she says "cabinents" instead of cabinets.

Ham

8/9/18 2:22pm

You're both wrong. It is cab-nets.

CoogsWin

If she did, it would have been a deal breaker.

No, but someone pronouncing Italian as Eye-talian is a divorce-able offense

Dillinger

8/9/18 2:25pm

My mom's from the South and she says Eye-talian. But I'll never divorce her.

Cran instead of crayon. She also says "a toast" instead of "a piece of toast"

Murray

8/9/18 2:26pm

Mine actually says “crown” instead of “crayon” - never heard that one before

Tricky

8/9/18 2:29pm

Mine says crown too. I say her Idaho is showing whenever she does.

LaserCoug

8/9/18 11:44pm

It’s infuriating.

shimmy

8/9/18 11:49pm

Mine does too! I seriously think she is talking about a crown every time, until

Greazy. Seriously? Where is the Z in greasy?

cougarfan87

8/9/18 2:26pm

Same place as it is in “cheesy” and “easy”

Tricky

8/9/18 2:30pm

Yes, but cheese has a Z sound, as does ease. Grease does not.

"alblum" for album (photo or record).

soupie

My wife doesn't say it, but have you noticed "fruniture" more and more? I have.

BYUFBDAD

8/9/18 2:28pm

Cran instead of Crayon. Sound it out...

ballen

8/9/18 2:28pm

Mrs Crack used to pronounce it more like "crown" if she was talking too fast.

crack

8/9/18 2:38pm

Mine, too. Is she from Washington state?

cougarmeister

8/9/18 3:30pm

Also says"Organ" instead of Oregon and "sureal" instead of cereal.

cougarmeister

8/9/18 3:34pm

Not in the way you probably mean it.

SoCalCoug

8/9/18 2:29pm

I hate the way she pronounces "Lazy, no-good, fat slob".

Also my wife likes to pronounce caulk with the "L"

It's helpful to know what she wants, what she really really wants.

Sometimes I pronounce the L in "YOLK."

That sounds like something I might do just like as a dad joke.

Wife says sweeping when she's talking about vacuuming.

Bath as a verb instead of bathe. Her whole family does.

WhiteKnight

Carmel for caramel. There are 2 A’s, people!

aussiecoug
