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

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!

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.

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

All of A sudden, *A* sudden!
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."
I had to google...

How often do you hear this? So annoying.
How should it be pronounced?
You're kidding, right? Just checking.
Yep, saying cashay when they mean cache. Probably think it is the same word and has the same meaning.
