Re: Memo to All QVC Hosts

[ Edited ]

Two of my pet peeves are realator when it is realtor.   Another peeve is when they say underneath of.   It is underneath period.  Jayne Brown does it all the time

There is no such word as 'heighth'.  When discussing how tall someone or something is, the correct word is 'height'.


@ClaudeNorth Just like there is no such word as "lenth".

Yes there is a host who always kills the words, pattern, and modern. She says patterIN, and moderIN!!! My father had a Master's degree in Journalism, and was the editor of 2 newspapers. Needless to say I abhor incorrect pronunciations of various words!!!!

Courtney Khondabi says imporded for important every time. I think it’s just like a non standard dialect?
