How about joo-LER-ee, instead of, jewelry?

Or worse, mis-chee-VEE-ous, rather than mischievous?

Your Question makes it all worth it, because

sometimes I’m in a constant cringe looking

at spelling, hearing mispronunciation,

seeing apostrophes where they

CLEARLY should never be.

I would include another major one for me,

but it’s so torturous to my nervous system,

I can’t even type it as an example.
