help my brainz

What about when he says alage (al-gee) It kills me. I even had to explain to my kids that he was wrong.
 
Is the guy British? They do pronounce it Al-gee, because of the old Latin pronounciation...the accent/emphasis is on two different syllables depending on whether you're talking American English, or British English.
Aesop is pronounced the same way. It's not Aaa-sop, it's Eee-sop.
Like "via", the correct pronounciation, true to the base Latin is Veee-ahhh. Not Viiii-ahhh. That last one is my own pet peeve...

My pet peeve pronunciation wise is "Suite".

Seems to be a Southern thing; all the TV ads pronounce it like what you wear, not like "sweet".

But then here in Georgia a lot of things are pronouced different. Two towns come to mind: Albany, GA is pronouced "All-benny", Vienna, GA is "Vi-enna (instead of "Vee-enna")

Screwed with my mind when I moved here. The county I live in is pronouced "How-ston" instead of "Who-ston"

You can always tell someone who is new to here!

One of our 1st kid's delivery nurses kept talking about how many "sonimeters" dialated my wife was. If other, more important things weren't going on at the time, I'd have probably verbally throttled her. I have no idea where that mispronunciation of centimeters came from, I've never heard it except from that one person.
