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 :D

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

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
