Just pure tongue laziness. that is all it is.
My youngest keeps saying: anyways. It drives me batty too.
and she knows this, so she says it even more.
anyways...I hope you are feeling better. :)
Me me me!!
I copied this from grammarerrors.com:
Heighth (height)
The mispronunciation of height as heighth (with a th, rather than a t, sound at the end of the word) probably stems from the tendency to confuse it with similar words dealing with dimension, such as length, width, depth, and breadth. However, height is like the word weight in that it ends with only a t and not a th.
It just really, really irritates me as do these:
sherbert (sherbet)
licorish (licorice)
ekcetera (eTcetera)
and I am sure there are more however, the couch I am sitting on is currently shaking and shimmying thanks to the three year old who has just been banished to the floor.

You have all made great contributions to my list! I have just thought of two more:
Thanks - "TH" as in "the"
Fer - For
I have a feeling this list is going to get bigger and bigger!
Oooh, I have another one...
Um, it is realtor NOT real A tor - that one is aggravating...
How about districk instead of district?
you must live in my neighborhood
donchey? (don't you?)
Jason must watch MEDIUM!!
Doesn't it drive you crazy every week when Alison says districk attorney!!!

In the last two days, I've heard three different people say jew-la-ry instead of jewelry.
My favorite, or rather, non-favorite - "You welcome". WTF? Can you NOT say "You're Welcome"? Does that extra "'re" REALLY strain your vocal cords that much??
jew-la-ry was my mom's most aggravating when I mentioned this post to her!! It's just WRONG! :)
I know this all started ions ago, but I just read it...sorry...I have to add a very frequently mispronounced word that really bothers me...definitely! Many of the most learned people say definally. Listen for it!
