Wordnik.com: There is No 'X' in 'Espresso': Words Butchered by Americans http://www.wordnik.com/lists/there-is-no-x-in-espresso-words-butchered-by-americans.xml I'm not talking about a Pennsylvanian drinking wooder or a Virginian crapping in an oothoos or even the plural form of "y'all" being "all y'all". (Hey, I love my Appalachian heritage.) I'm talking about adding letters that aren't even in the word or skipping ones that aren't silent (<a href="/words/syncope">syncope</a> and <a href="/words/apocope">apocope</a>). I mean, c'mon.<br /><br />Your suggestions welcome. My editorializing is attached to the comments on each word. <br /><br />If you like this list, also check out PBS's "Beastly Pronunciations" List and Kaichi's list of common tongue twister's. http://www.wordnik.com glacier http://www.wordnik.com/words/glacier Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:52:53 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/glacier vehement http://www.wordnik.com/words/vehement Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:59:42 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/vehement interesting http://www.wordnik.com/words/interesting Mon, 18 Dec 2006 16:20:37 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/interesting facsimile http://www.wordnik.com/words/facsimile Mon, 18 Dec 2006 16:20:35 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/facsimile porsche http://www.wordnik.com/words/porsche Fri, 15 Dec 2006 14:51:24 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/porsche probably http://www.wordnik.com/words/probably Fri, 15 Dec 2006 14:49:22 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/probably supposedly http://www.wordnik.com/words/supposedly Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:31:10 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/supposedly cement http://www.wordnik.com/words/cement Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:30:32 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/cement asphalt http://www.wordnik.com/words/asphalt Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:30:18 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/asphalt pronunciation http://www.wordnik.com/words/pronunciation Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:30:04 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/pronunciation jaguar http://www.wordnik.com/words/jaguar Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:29:54 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/jaguar asterisk http://www.wordnik.com/words/asterisk Fri, 15 Dec 2006 11:54:46 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/asterisk walk http://www.wordnik.com/words/walk Tue, 12 Dec 2006 17:45:13 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/walk february http://www.wordnik.com/words/february Fri, 08 Dec 2006 17:52:42 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/february poinsettia http://www.wordnik.com/words/poinsettia Fri, 08 Dec 2006 13:17:45 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/poinsettia mischievous http://www.wordnik.com/words/mischievous Fri, 08 Dec 2006 13:17:14 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/mischievous wednesday http://www.wordnik.com/words/wednesday Fri, 08 Dec 2006 13:17:10 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/wednesday ask http://www.wordnik.com/words/ask Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:26:09 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/ask nuclear http://www.wordnik.com/words/nuclear Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:25:45 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/nuclear species http://www.wordnik.com/words/species Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:25:40 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/species espresso http://www.wordnik.com/words/espresso Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:25:36 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/espresso
