I remember saying "chester drawers" for a long time. I always thought that it was the correct term. I honestly thought that the "h" was silent in "herb".

When I was little, I thought only old people could get Alzheimer's because of the 'name' and thought that whoever came up with the name was very disrespectful. And I always pronounce "Heimlich" incorrectly LOL.
This one girl wrote "irre-f*cking-gardless" on a Xanga entry once and I laughed for the longest time. But man, did you know "irregardless" is actually included in some dictionaries? It's pretty ridiculous. Other words I've mispronounced: jewelry, Ku Klux Klan, mischievous, pronunciation (Gigi's actually lectured me on this one before),... just to name a few. Damn, so many. |
