Mischievous Pronounciation

I hate mispronunciations. Whenever my friends want to piss me off (and they know these two words grate on me like fingers on a chalkboard), they'll start using "irregardless" and pronouncing the "t" in "often."

It's actually humorous how irritated I get when they all gang up on me and every comment they say uses one of those two bastardized usages.

 

Victual is pronounced 'vittle', like vittles from The Beverly Hillbillies.

 

veteran or "ve-trin"
har-rass-ment or the horrible "harris-ment"

 

I use the 'wrong' one too. The one w/ the long 'v', as opposed to the short 'v' sound.

 

I heard that just don't seem how it would be pronounced like that. English sucks.

 

except when "axed" should be "asked".

 

and "asked" should be "askt" instead of "ast", so really axed is closer to the correct form, logically.
