People Actually Say Some Of These Wrong?

Last Updated on: 23rd May 2015, 03:51 pm

Here is a video about 79 words everyone gets wrong. I was feeling pretty good…but then along came officially, mauve and crepe, and maybe lava and pasta. I knew about forte but if I said it like “fort”, everyone would look at me funny. And there’s no friggin way I would say Wikipedia like wee-kee-pedia.

At any rate, the video was entertaining. And hey, at the end, if y is sometimes a consonant if you touch the roof of your mouth, why isn’t u sometimes a consonant? “Uniform.” I touched the roof of my mouth. “Under.” I didn’t. Now you have to watch the video to figure out what the hell I’m talking about.

  1. I had no idea about officially or crepe. And there’s no way in hell I’m pronouncing Wikipedia like that. It makes no sense and it sounds silly.
