Not mis -chieev -ieous.
i have heard that now that you mention it. i thought they were just being uppity like saying "vass" instead of "vase"
Mod
here's an uppitymaker I can't stomach: Dayta vs. Dahta.
Who in the world says Dahta? That is one that I've never heard before.
Mod
yeah, it is supposed to be pronounced like the android from STNG's name
star trek next generation. i am really not a trekkie. i'm not. i just knew that
But weren't you referencing Lt. Uhura on the Kindle thread, Kevin?

People who go nuts over the usage of data/datum make me laugh.

It's okay to admit it, Kevin. You're among friends here.
Does labiodental fricative sound dirty to anyone else? ...nah, me neither.So does anyone know when the thing that you put flowers in went from being a vayse to a vahz? I never received the memo on that one.

This was an interesting story this morning on my somewhat late and stress-filled drive to CSU. More interesting was the newfound knowledge that its not pronounced with the labiodental fricative neander-THAll but instead ne-ander-tall.
This was as groundbreaking to my idiolect as the day NPR taught me that mischievous isn't pronounced with the middle syllable rhyming with cheese, but handkerchief.
