I pronounce 'interesting' correctly. As in four syllables.

I never understood why the majority of everyone else pronounces it 'intresting' or 'intersting'... why? And I am like the least grammatically correct person ever.

well that is the theme of the fucking thread isnt it??

just b/c other people are posting completely incorrect ways to say things doesnt mean that is what the thread was supposed to be for.

for example, the OP posted pe-CAAHHN, which is an acceptable pronunciation by the dictionary but one that he thinks sounds completely wrong

hello and welcome to the thread

That, or "crans". They're not berries.

Acrost. I know several folks who append a t to the end of "across" for some reason.
