Thread Name: BS: Mangling the English Language
Subject: RE: BS: Mangling the English Language
One of my pet irritants is people adding letters to words that don't need them and leaving out others. For example...I once worked with an automotive parts man from the Boston area. He could not pronounce the letter R unless he used it where not needed. He would say cah pahts instead of car parts but he would have no trouble telling you those cah pahts came from a weahouse in Tampar (Tampa)
