I don't mind that the boat is a pile of crap, I do care that the owner can't spell....

[mclaincausey]

That reminds me of a peeve of mine. Pronouncing caprese “ca-pree-say”

They were close to being clever if they had swapped the letters and added one; Seaczar

Can I say cah-prey-zay in front of you, which is how I do it....?

[mclaincausey]

Like a civilized person? We have no quarrel.

I’m name my my boat Caprazy.

I should note that’s how my wife, a professional event logistician and expert caterer, says it, so I can deal, even if I wince when I hear it. It’s quite common. It would be like pronouncing “bolognese” Bo Lo niece.

Now let’s talk about “realtor” being mispronounced real it or. That one is nearly ubiquitous in America it seems

[Giles]

We pronounce "realtor" as "estate agent".....

[Matt]

That’s because you guys mispronounce and/or misspell everything. Aluminum has ONE i.

[Giles]

Two countries separated by a common language....GBS

[mclaincausey]

I suspect much of the reason for our linguistic divergence is simple pettiness. For “aluminum/aluminium” IIRC the scientist with the naming rights couldn’t make up his mind and each of us settled on a different version.

I say we should have just gone with “alumium” and called it a day

[Matt]

Obviously.
