It is almost unthinkable that this is possible, but preggo is in fact a word worse than preggers.

By Campbells, but Prego. There are web references to pizza places that sell a labor-inducing pizza called the Preggo (both spellings represented).

It drives me batshit when people spell it "prego" but mean "preggo." *fumes*

When I lived in Italy and you said "Thank You" or "grazie" to someone, they often replied "prego" with sort of a rolling "r." No?

I don't know.. It's not like a hard "r" that Americans use when they say "Prego" as in the jar sauce. It's almost as if there is a hint of a "d" or "th" sound just before the "r." I can't describe it -- but I can say it! If only wordie had a "hearie" function. But, of course, even if it did, I would not be able to figure out how to use it...

Rolling R (/r/) is used in Italian, Spanish and Finnish languages just to name a few. It's not a throaty sound at all but is produced by vibrating the tip of your tongue against the gums beneath your upper teeth. The formal name is "Alveolar trill" which you can look up on Wikipedia...
