Default Mispronounced words...

We hear them all the time but we all do it... words like Breakfast.

we say it - "Breck- fist".. was it ever pronounced "break- fast"??
Almost like the question- What are you doing?"
We/I say it - "whadahya- doin' " - or maybe that's my boston in me? again we are too lazy to say it like it is.

Just another Random post by Sweed

please by all means if you have anything else.. please share.


P.S. - just found out we aren't working chrsitmas eve!

what about the word fugly. Its like a shotrcut to caling someone ******* Ugly. i know it doesnt really apply to the topic in the sense of your words but the general idea is the same. Maybe not.... i just think its a funny word.

I text a lot and approve of it because it cuts time and gets over what you want to say ( cost cutting ) which is sensible but on this sort of site it would be useless because the main points would be misinterpreted on fault diagnosis

I often say "cause" instead of "because"
"Owh-no" - "I dont know"
