Are you sure that you mean this, @KKWA -- that people who have a speech impediment shouldn't be speaking to the public???

This is host inexcusable: I've heard more than one host pronounce wrinkled skin as creepy skin.

My husband is from the midwest, and I'm an east coast girl. One day I heard him ask me to hand him a "pin". I responded, "A safety pin or a straight pin?" He looked at me strangely and said, "A pin that you write with." That's when I realized he was asking for a PEN!
LOL, @PreKteacher . I noticed my husband doing this. I asked him to pronounce pen then asked him to pronounce pin. There was not a whit of a difference. He's from the South and I'm from the North.

On the news a couple months ago they spoke to someone about a fire in the neighborhood. The young woman interviewed said the person that escaped the fire was "shooken." Huh! I would have been shaken by the experience. So James Bond takes is drink shooken not stirred.
Also on ID a person said, "he had tooken the money." wth. Do people talk like that in a job interview?
When they really don't want the job, @CrazyKittyLvr2 .

@CherryHugs Now that's a first for me. I have never heard bedroom pronounced bet room, and would be shocked if I did. I wonder what part of the country pronounces it that way, any ideas?
