Giac	BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words (134* d)	RE: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words	26 Jun 03
TV sports persons annoy me daily with this one: Ath-a-letic. As in, sports fans and athaletic supporters. A local one which is kinda funny the first zillion times you hear it: fidgiderry Got it yet? Whatever you were thinking, likely that's not it. It's refrigerator. Seriously. It is a corruption of the brand name, Frigidaire. That first R apparently is impossible to see, but is made up for by pronouncing the E. Written spellings, too, are quite exotic, including "frigerotor". Ain't langidge grate? Mary
