Episode 71 - Anartica
Hey. Y'know what really grinds my gears? When people pronounce the southern-most continent on our planet "Anartica". This is so common. Way more common than the correct pronunciation, and it drives me f*ckin' nuts.
There are two t's and two c's in ANTARCTICA.
And on that note, those same people drop the first c in arctic and say "artic".
Other mispronunciations that annoy me:
Wolf: "wuf"
Sandwich: "samwich"
Escape: "excape"
Especially: "expecially"
Espresso: "expresso"
Now, I'm actually rather famous among my friends and family for mispronouncing things on purpose for comedic effect, but I think what annoys me is when people mispronounce things, and they don't know they're doing it. Something about that drives me up a wall.
