.....and no amount of emphasis and suggestion will get them to change.
The "General Manager" of a company that I dealt with was incapable of saying "specific". It always came out as "pacific".
My dear elder sister (God rest) was a buyer travelling Europe for a leading department store, and being wined and dined several times a week,
but could she hell be persuaded to say "Broccoli".
They may well have thought she was Chinese as she always said Broccori!
A poncey, but very nice, couple for whom I was upgrading their hotel foyer and lounge bar, were incapable of saying "pilasters".
No amount of reinforcing of the word could stop him from saying "palisters" and her from saying "pilastairs".
You had to be there!

You see loads of 'of' instead of 'have' on Facebook, which is primarily a site for the younger generation .
Another on is on photos of babies, and some reply with 'His(he's) lovely. My eldest posted that my grand-daughter wasn't well last week. Then yesterday she said that the baby was a lot better, but hubby had the stomach bug now. One of her old schoolmates, who is a shop manageress, posted 'Oh know!!' |
