I don’t overreact to things I can tell are regional dialects and whatnot. But I recently watched a movie review where the guy pronounced linear as “li-nEAR” and I was the personification of the double take white guy meme. Never heard that one before. And he kept using it throughout, so, somehow, this 30ish year old man has never been corrected. I think everyone that knows him might be playing a cruel joke.

We’ll always have the time we heard a podcaster pronounce the name of the town “Stroke-on-Tent”.

Guy I watch on YouTube drives around the UK following a 100 year old Michelin guidebook, looking at historical things on the way. It's nice and fairly cosy.

Last weekend's video was in my neck of the woods. He visited the town of Lymington (pronounced LIM-ington), and pronounced it Lie-mington the whole time.

90% of the comments were locals pointing it out to him.

I keep accidentally saying innuendo and having to apologize because they happen in inappropriate situations.

I just can't help when it pops up.

My mind still reads it 'foogoo'. Just because I correct it in speech doesn't mean my mind knows and yearns for a better way.

Haggis and fugu, that's food for cult eaters
Jim Jones, Father Yod, Charles Manson, they're cult leaders
