Why Do Some People Pronounce the Word "Huge"...

"Yuge"? It drives me nuts when people do that, it's like they don't see the "h" at the beginning of the word. I have a friend who says "yuge", and I have to bite my tongue not to correct her, although it is very tempting. I hate it when people mispronounce the word "huge". lol
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

nod Me too, or when people pronounce the "w" in the word "sword". lol

I have a friend who pronounces the word "closet", "clowset". Somehow she puts a "w" in there that doesn't belong.

Did anybody else watch the Clinton library dedication? Chelsea kept talking weird, like she was stoned or something. I think she said "yuge".

I find it very sad that you can openly mock those poor souls with speech impediments. I don't spend my day working with the verbally impaired but I'm sure they're suffering.

As I said, I'm yugely disappointed.
