The French expression, "Voila": https://www.thoughtco.com/voila-vocabulary-1371436

And since when is "build" a noun?

"ahm a-fixen tuh gonna mek dis Build essra 'pechial".

OK, Skunkworks. I'm very sure you probably designed the A-12 "Build" in your garage.....
Déja vu or chassis
I bet most of you guy don't know how to pronounce that correctly.
I cringe every time I hear déja voo and tjassi...

According to Merriam-Webster: Conversate is a word that has been used for over 200 years.

That said: my spell check says it is not. Weird. You would think vocabulary would be easy to agree on but I guess not.

Omitting "to be" - as in "needs fixed" instead of "needs to he fixed"

If you're "getting ready" to do something, what do you say?

Stephanie will get this ;)

This is right there with "have to". ex. "I have to go to the store" or sometimes pronounced "half to" in the south. ;)

Add the phrase, "Take and" to the beginning of any sentence as in, "Take and add some Tobasco to that there guacamole".

Agreed. If you could, why don’t you?

Another one is the difference between “bring” and “take”. I hear those misused quite a bit.

Supposedly has become supposably.

A buddy of mine and I will trade mispronounced words on occasion, and this thread is 'zactly why we do it. :D:p

Irregardless...wait, do I regard that? :cool:

I just think it's funny.

Tervuren 03-23-2022 06:15 AM
I could understand in a strict business setting someone engagermalaging in such manner as being tyrsum.

But in the right environment, such as discussing a circle track race, it is perfect.

Gettrdun!

The Brits pronounce "schedule" correctly.
But their "maths" is plural and I'm not sure what a "lawyerer" is.

It's then and than that gets me going.

Is conversate a word?

Yes, conversate is definitely a word, in use in English for over 200 years. Many people find its informality grating, and most usage guides will caution against using it in any formal writing.

Is converse or conversate correct?

We define conversate as synonymous with converse; this does not, however, mean that the two words are interchangeable. Converse functions as a noun, adjective, and verb, and conversate is synonymous with only one sense of the verb use of converse ("to exchange thoughts and opinions in speech"). Furthermore, conversate is a nonstandard form, and widely frowned upon in formal writing.

Why do many people begin their sentences with,"So..."?

Another pronunciation that gets me is the word height.

I know a few folks that say hi-thhhh just like width.

Nails on a chalkboard for me.

Scott Douglas 03-23-2022 07:45 AM
You know....

Watching some "March Madness" games this past weekend, quite a few announcers kept referring to the player's "lengths" instead :D.

Now I know they could have been taking into account their arm reach too... but I don't think so.
