Pronunciations can be a pet peeve of mine - Got one too

Posted: Jan 4th, 2018 - 11:45 pm In Reply to: I understood what you were saying... - sm

On our annual Christmas cookie baking this year my sister and my two nieces were watching the local news while the cookies were cooling. They were giving the traffic report and my niece laughed out loud and said if she hears one more person pronounce the work exit EGG-ZIT she will scream. Mine is one that will probably get me bashed because the majority of people pronounce the name of this breed of dog incorrectly. The breed is a Shih Tzu (SHE-TZU) Two words, and the first one is not s**t. Lord, does that get me. When Lester Holt pronounced it that way on the Nightly News I almost stopped loving him, but I doubt that will ever happen. Lol.
