@Mombo1,

 Haha, I've always said sherbert. I always thought people who said sherbet it sounded so weird and wrong.


@on the bay    Truthfully, I have mispronounced sherbet many times.  It's just that I have been corrected so often, that I am overly aware when someone else does it.  Since I'm originally from Pittsburgh, I have heard so many versions of the English language....but I like the regional differences.  Yinz from the Burg know what I'm talking about.  🤗


 

@Mombo1   They should give everyone from Pittsburgh a lifetime pass on mispronounced words.

 

I can't believe how many whacky words still come out of my mouth, even after being away from Pixxsburgh so long. Smiley Happy

@Pearlee  I guess "joolry" is unacceptable also.

 

That would be a tough one for me to change now.

And I dislike "anyways" instead of anyway.

Reading this and saying the word, yep i say heighth.  Th .  I don't know why, and at my grand age i have never been corrected.  Now i know better.

 

I have come across a person that says acrosst in the last two years.  They live in Massachusetts, so maybe it's a regional thing?  It drives me nuts.  LOL

And please hosts, let’s share your CORRECT size, it is very misleading when you don’t.
Especially when standing next to a model who is wearing the size you quoted for yourself. This picture says it all.
