Amy's post got me thinking (s/o)

Does DH/SO do something (spell wrong/say wrong) all.the.time and you don't correct it?

JP says measure like may-zure.  Drives.Me.Nuts.

Re: Amy's post got me thinking (s/o)

  • DH says acrost, instead of across. He learned it from his mother. I've gotten him to say it the right way half the time.

  • Milk = Melk.  But it's become a joke, so now he over-enunciates to say "Mealk".  It's hilarious.

    Pillow = Pellow.  Similar to to the milk situation, again, it's now a joke and we both over enunciate to say "Peal-ow".

    I laugh.

  • Oh Dh says New Oreleeenz

    I saw New Orlens with a drawl for some reason. I have no idea why.

    I say mum but that is b/c my mum was from Scotland so I grew up with it. Big Smile

  • Oh don't even get me started...

    He can't say "frustrated" correctly.

    He also says "paper toilet" a lot for "toilet paper" b/c that's the actual translation from Spanish to English.  I always laugh when he does it.

    When he's talking about a show/movie being on TV he always says that the channel/station is "giving" it.  I always ask him if the channel/TV can also give me jewelry or a massage. :)

  • JT is pretty good about saying things correctly and if I correct him he picks up on it, I think it's the teacher thing.

    He is a terrible speller and has a hard time writing things, but he's dyslexic so I cut him slack but he is forever asking me how to spell things.  I'm not that great at spelling but this has made me better.

    DH definitely spells some words incorrectly but I can't think of any examples.

    I'm the one that says things wrong and he makes fun of me.

    It is completely acceptable to say N'awlins anytime you are talking about New Orleans!

    Just like Louisville, KY = Luh-vulle.

  • Dh doesn't say ro spell anything wrong that I can think of off hand.

    I am the one who does this, and he teases me. But in my defense, I learned it from my parents; my sister says them the same way I do. Here is one example: ornery. We say on-ree.

    Same here.  It annoys the shiz out of me.  In the area I used to work in it seemed like everyone said it that way.

    On the flip side, Andrew makes fun of me when I pronounce Spanish words the correct way with rolling my Rs and stuff.  He does it enough that I dumb down my Spanish-speaking ability,which really is only understanding, reading, and being able to pronounce the words correctly (not a fluent speaker).  It sucks but everytime I throw in a Spanish word he makes fun of me.  Sad  I grew up in a Spanish-speaking family, I can't help it.  It comes naturally to say the word "tortilla" in Spanish!
