It suddenly dawned on me after I did my rant over the mispronouncing of the word
sauna, that I could actually have lead people to mispronounce it even worse! I said it is pronounced as "SOW-na" and it is. However, the "SOW" rhymes with "how," not "sew"! I hope that fixes it. By the way, does anyone know how to pronounce "gnocci?" I would hate to have anyone get pissed at me for not knowing how to pronounce it properly. :)
Yes, it is the Italian dish--AND I spelled it wrong! The correct spelling is "gnocchi." And yes, the pronunciation is "nokee." Boy, can't pronounce it AND can't spell it--the Italians must be pissed at me! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat really drives me nuts around here is the pronounciation of the word "Suite" as "Suit"
ReplyDeleteI hear all the time this certain furnature store's radio ads...
"This Saturday only! All bedroom SUITS 20% off!"
They're saying SOOT instead of SWEET...
Morons.
I hear ya, Tom! That one bothers me, too!
