Anything that isn't a sedan or minivan is basically a truck to them. Drives me nuts.

Also she does the same L sound in caulk like hpcougar's wife. She just can't say it without the L. hahaha

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

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.

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

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

I only say "eye-talian" when ordering a Spicy Italian sandwich at Subway.

CoogsWin

We had an admin at the office who would tell people "My family is eye-talian"

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.

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.

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.

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

8/9/18 2:26pm

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".

hpcougar

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

8/9/18 2:32pm

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.

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