Subject: Mangling the English Language
Over the course of the last several years, I've been compiling a list of words I've heard people pronounce in ...um... unique ways. Now, I don't mean to be unkind and of course, I would never call attention to this at the time I hear them--and sometimes, the "new" version of the word I like even better than the original. I just thought some of you may also know a few of these creative concoctions to share here. A few of my favorites:

confusement (confusion) misconscrewed (misconstrued) biosexual (bi-sexual) nippelate (manipulate) skipsophrenic (schizophrenic) mybrain headache (migraine headache)
