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

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

Have you ever tried to correct a southern woman?

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

Drownding. Her whole family says that instead of drowning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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