You just wonder why they do it though...🤔 Are they thick? Don't they read? Don't they listen? Above all - don't they CARE?

Many people say nucular, instead of nuclear and chimley instead of chimney. 😬 I've even heard nucular on the news.... My sister in law always says trildren. I never say anything.... Your restraint is admirable.

Sounds like the Lady in the Bank (A dusky Lady with Long black hair hanging down to her waist, and a lovely Lovely Smile - never noticed her name). I dont think she can remember everybody's name so addresses me as Darlink. i.e Darlink with a K. For some reason, it doesn't worry me too much. No matter how it's pronounced, if somebody calls you 'Darling' I'd take it 👍 OK....Darling.

My ex father in law, who was diabetic always said he was controlling his carbonhydrate intake.

The same. How children becomes transmogrified to trildren, I have no idea. Grates somethin' shockin' though...

My oldest friend (I have known him since we were 4) had a mum who used to get quite exasperated. I remember we were going out, aged maybe 10 and she said to him 'and put your pully woolover on as well'

I have just had an Olly ice. That's what my youngest used to call ice lollies and it has stuck, like many other words and phrases the children used to say. In our house, gloves are called blugs, because my son couldn't pronounce gloves. The trouble is, sometimes you forget, and use these words with people who have no idea what you are talking about.

Sci-fi. It's SF, dammit, pronounced ESS EFF.

It might be sci/fi as a way of distinguishing it from sci/fan.

It might be sci/fi as a way of distinguishing it from sci/fan. It was invented by the SF super fan Forest J Ackerman, and he's dead now so I suppose we'll never know. Still, it's better than SyFy, so probably it's best not to complain.
