[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I struggle with “niche” and “colander”. I can never remember. But yeah OP people were just too polite to correct you. It’s fine. My least favorite is [b]people who say “fustrating” instead of frustrating[/b]. Happens more than you’d think. [/quote]

This is your fault for the company you keep. This isn’t what the thread is about [/quote]

Why is this different? I know a few young (white, if that is where you are going) female employees who still pronounce a few words as if they are still in their teens. Fustrate is one of them. Libarry is another. [/quote]

Stop hanging out in Maryland if you can help it. I have literally never heard these pronunciations.

And super lazy of you to go to race 🙄.

I hear the "fustrate" one from my husband's sister, who has lived in NJ her entire life.  It's not a Maryland thing, it's just an annoying mispronunciation. [/quote]

Sorry that would just make me think the person is not well educated at all.  I have never heard anyone say fustrate. It sounds stupid.

I would just assume that the person has a mild speech impediment, and think nothing more of it. The 'fr' sound can be challenging. My niece pronounces it 'fwustrating', but she really is trying. She knows the right way to say it, just can't get her mouth to cooperate yet (she's only 7).[/quote]
