Mis-pronunnsed.

Jason Kottke recently linked to an article about people saying words wrong on purpose. It’s quite a fun article, and the comments on Kottke’s post are great.

From the article:

I sometimes say “muscles” so that the ‘c’ has a ‘k’ sound (the same way the cartoon character Popeye says it), computor instead of “computer” (after Ned Beatty’s exaggerated pronunciation of “Mr Luthor” in the Superman movies), and I occasionally say benimber instead of “remember” because it was something my cousin Paul said more than 20 years ago.

Personally, I’m known to say aminals instead of animals, anyhoo instead of anyhow, supposably instead of supposedly, vegematables instead of vegetables, and skizzurs instead of scissors.

Yeah, I’m a freak like that. But now I know I’m not the only one.
