Thread Name: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words
Subject: RE: BS: Commonly misspelled/mispronounced words
I'm an editor, brought up in England now living next door to Uncle Sam and trying to save Canada from throwing the cultural identity away. Here are some I see and hear regularly:
Mother's Day. It's not possessive, it's descriptive, so no apostrophe please!
barbeque should that be pronounced bar-beek?
Ceasar salad,
and of course war-chesta-shigher sauce , no wonder so many people just call it Lea & Perrin's!
