It is not "dandeelion or dandylion" please. The e in dandelion is short.

Everytime i hear this word mispronounced it is like chalk on a board. Cant someone in the production booth correct these people.

Should they say, "dan duh lion" ?

There are SO many mispronounciations now that it would take quite an effort to correct them all.... plus (as has been discussed here so many times) pronunciations are often regional to the person speaking on air.

My biggest nails on the chalkboard is: PREsentation rather than PRESENTation and has been abused for such a long time that it probably is about ready to be launched on Websters.... there are more, trust me....

If a pronunciation or spelling is mispronounced or mispelled long enough it is included in Websters as yet another alternative..... right, wrong or indifferent!

Sue Clifton is pronouncing it correctly.

How about the floor is inside and the ground is outside. People don't know the difference.

I never heard "pointsettia" pronounced with a long "e" sound at the end til I heard it on the Q! But what REALLY drove me crazy when I moved South after living up North was when someone said they were buying a bedroom "suit" instead of "suite"!!

Ok, this is funny! My parents are from the south. My mother always said bedroom suit. Noone has ever corrected me and i have been in Northern Virginia, considered by most as not the south for a hundred years. Until this post i have been passing the tradition on. LOL!!!

Sorry, I can't get real worked up over pronunciation of 'dandelion', but I have always heard the term suit rather than suite applied to a matched set of furniture. That said, 'suite' is probably accurate... And the conundrum is probably what's led some people to just reference their bedroom 'set', living room 'set', dining room 'set', etc...
