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".

But yeah a lot of people say "proNOUNciation" and I'm just like...yeah that's ironic lol. I think I'm only anal about that because it helps me to remember how to spell it correctly. I pretty much say all of these words correctly. I think it's because I live in Canada. A lot of these words I don't really use but I'm sure I would have pronounced them incorrectly. But who really says "spit and image" over "spitting image"? Come on. |
