How often do you hear this? So annoying.

How should it be pronounced?

You're kidding, right? Just checking.

Say there, original pp, do you mean they said "cashay" when they meant "cache"? You do know that there's a word "cachet" that is pronounced "cashay," right?

Yep, saying cashay when they mean cache. Probably think it is the same word and has the same meaning.

Ok, thanks for clarifying!

Ok--this one puzzles me. I grew up saying "all of the sudden" but I hear the other. My parents were educated (higher degrees) and so were their parents. Northeast background. Is this a regional thing. I also say "by accident" but I hear other people say "on accident."

"Jenny gave the gift to Henry and I."

"Katie talked to Joe and I."

It should be Henry and ME.

Joe and ME.

Sabrina Soto makes this mistake frequently. HGTV needs to hire some English majors.

Uh oh. That's me. In my defense, I am local and did grow up here. Saying WASH-ington sounds off and very unnatural for me.

Regional pronunciation

Someone who starts a sentence with LOOK.

Should of instead of should have. "I should of picked up milk on the way home." So wrong!
A whole 'nother (as in "that's a whole 'nother story."). It's "another" or "a whole other", not both!

Adding "the" to the beginning or an "s" to the end of something. Or both, like my FIL. He says, "I'm going out to get milk over at The Giants."

I heard this topic on the radio this morning and this is exactly what a caller said.
