I was in line at Wal-Mart today and the cashier asked me if the card I was using would be credict or debict. I didn't no what to say, so she asked me again in a rude tone Is that gonna be credict or debict. I told her it would be DEBIT not debict. She just rolled her eyes at me as I went on my way.
I was having a conversation with a co-workers friend and she told me that she had founteded something at a flea market and it was really nice. I asked her to repeat that and she said that she had founteded something.
Some one asked what I though about the earl spill in the gulf.
At work a customer asked me if we had any pirnk carseats.
So all and all that quite a few new words, I now have at my disposal.
Debict = Debit Credict = Credit Founteded = Found Earl = Oil Pirnk = Pink

It was meant to be a joke . . . I know people mispronounce words, its when they don't realize that they are doing it, and they constantly mispronounce the same words over and over again.

When I was a kid, I thought VD was Veneral's Disease.
After watching the movie Ninja Assassin in the theatre, I came back here and posted a review where I came up with the word Assassining. What they were doing in that movie was asassining in it's purest form. Hell, I think I'll watch it again now ...

The ones that are more accent and/or lisp related I can't really say anything about, as that just happens.
However founteded is just stupid sounding. lol

I don't know if this is really an accent thing, but here's a word.
Herb.
See that letter at the start? SAY IT!

Some of the older people I've met insist that they "warsh" their dishes. It's called an intrusive r. It's actually pretty common.

SAY IT! but i'm from lancashire...... it's impossible to say most words that start with a H without the H being silent. on topic, i do purposely mess up words to see if people are paying attention to what i'm saying at times, like minellium(millenium), ginfers (fingers.), being my favourites.

It doesn't annoy me so much when people never say the H at the start of words, like in Lancashire. It's the American way of it that annoys me, when they say stuff like "He happily helped his father in the ERB garden." Always pronouncing the H except in HHHerb Although you'll agree with me here. Southerners need to learn how to say the letter R. I've never heard anything funnier than when I started teaching down here and people would call me and say "Hello, is that James? The guitah tutuh?I was wondahing if you had a space for my daughtuh?"

Sometimes you can't help it if you mispronounce a word, like I always say idea as idear, but not cause I WANT to, it is the way the word idea sounds with my voice.

Like I said, it's called an intrusive r. It's a cognitive issue where your mind wants to put an r after an a, even when there isn't one.

Some of the older people I've met insist that they "warsh" their dishes. This is NOT new, at least in these parts. Somehow, the phonetic "R" sound winds up in the damndest places. Also, the phonetic "L." How does "tomorrow" become "tomorrowl?"

Everyone in England must suffer from this, then, cause I don't know if I've ever heard an Englishman that doesn't say idear.

I must say I hate it when people say Tuesday like Chewsday. Where the hell do they get the ch- sound from?

Also, the phonetic "L." How does "tomorrow" become "tomorrowl?" It's the velarized alveolar lateral approximant L pronounciation that causes that trouble (e.g. "hell" as opposed to "lock"). It has stronger dental articulations (basically speaking, your tongue touches your teeth) and isn't that common in many Romance or Asiatic languages, which leads to confusion with the R sound (due to the dental articulation). That's where they stereotype of Japanese people replacing L with R comes from. They don't have that sound natively in their language.
