The life of an editor....

Mispronunciations that make me want to run down the street screaming (correct pronunciation is in parentheses):

Supposably (supposedly) Did they go to the zoo? Supposably! Joey on “Friends”
Eckscape (escape)

Jewlery (jewelry)

Irregardless (regardless)

Axed (asked)

Adjudification (adjudication) As in “The judge granted me deferred adjudification.”

Nucyuhler (nuclear) “So is anyone afraid of a nucyuhler bomb?”

Foilage (foliage)

“I flicked him off” (…flipped him off)

“I have an ideal” (really? An ideal what? OH you mean an IDEA. Gotcha)

To be continued…..
