But you do pronounce "pasta" in a most unappetizing way.

Neither of those are "right"--the natives call it "wooster sauce."

But I'm definitely of the camp that you can call it whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner.

I've said "shmore"s my entire 32 years and never realized it was incorrect until recently. I know it's spelled s'mores, but I always said "shmores"

Why is this so funny? It's very funny.

Like a cross between a schmuck and a s'more.

Your carefully worded, rational reply has no place on this thread.

Seriously- One time my mom, who's Filipino along with her friend (also a Filipino) went to a friend's house for dinner. The host was giving them a tour of her house which apparently has a huge deck. When the host showed them the deck, my mom's friend said, "Wow, this is a big dick!"

For some reason "acrosst" drives me crazy. Although I used to say ruff for roof all the time. DH often says amblience instead of ambulance, even though he knows it's wrong - drives him crazy!

I don't use the word "forte" anymore because I now believe the proper pronunciation is "fort" but that most listeners will think it should be "fort-ay".
