Whenever I would use that word, or any word I slightly question my usage of, it would only be around people that would never know enough to call me out over it.

When people use double negatives, "I can't get no satisfaction"

Add it to my list that includes "nuc-u-lar" and "real-i-tor"

When folks say “sim-u-lar” instead of “similar” or “pacific” instead of “specific”. Hurts my ears!

One the one hand, the specific ocean doesn't sound familular.

Ah, the curse of having majored in English. Earplugs help.

Its usually not worth fighting for. Lots of people don't think it matters, or take pride in not knowing, but all words matter. As I was taught in the military, learning to read and write Orders and reports, poor writing and speaking skills can get people killed.

Another cringeworthy mispronunciation that I hear quite a bit is "pamplet" instead of "pamphlet".
(Confession time: I still say "chester drawers" instead of "chest of drawers" -- I'm pretty sure I was in high school before I realized I had been saying it wrong my entire life up to that point. Still, twenty years later and not even a BA in English could make me unlearn "chester drawers". I'm just gonna blame my southern roots.) |

Both my wife and I have degrees in English. Stuff like that really bothers her. I don't even think about it. Degree or not, my English usage isn't that great. I got no one to impress. I come from a long line of uneducated people so I'm used to it. But I say things like irregardless all the time just to get her fired up.

The joke in our family were the words my FIL used. He never said Historical Society, always Hysterical Society. The list of words was long. Funny dude.
