The word 'Hyper-bole'... Come on, how many of u grew up pronouncing this word as if it were the finals of some futuristic American sport?
I don't believe u. 
And I'm sure there must be some fools out there who always pronounced "chameleon" as "chamlin." Shocking. ... [This message was edited Wed Jan 14 23:06:47 PST 2004 by fauxnewbie] | |

My sister was in the maternity ward next to a woman who was planning on calling her baby girl a name pronounced Wiv-on-nee. My sister said oh what a lovely name, where does it come from. The woman showed her a book of baby names and there it was :
Yvonne. She didn't have the heart to correct her, I told her she should have, if only for the sake of the poor child. Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |
