Is there anything more ignorant than a person referring to a library as a liBERRY? Seriously? When a person calls me at work to ask if "the liBERRy has the following books?", I have a really hard time being polite to them! I want to say, "You're an adult. Please learn to pronounce the word properly, call back, and I'll happily help you."
That is all.

HAHAHA! SO TRUE!!!!
A liberry is where they keep books on nucular power:).
ha, that annoys me too!
You tell 'em!
I had a speech/debate professor in college who was also speech therapist. There was a girl in my class who mispronounced so much stuff and he would constantly correct her - "lie-brer-ree." Yes!
That is a huge pet peeve of mine! My husband calls me a grammar snob but I hate when people mispronounce things like that!
Ugh, seriously. So true!! That and Alzheimer's, it's not all-timers!
Haha I know, right?!
P.S. Thanks for the sweet compliment. You should definitely look into JL. I think you'd like it!
Very funny! I hate when people say that! I also hate when people say ax instead of ask. Ugh!
LOL that drives me nuts too!
You should hear my husband trying to order a caramel macchiato at starbucks! You would die!
This has always been a pet peeve of mine as well, although I don't have to hear it nearly as often as I'm sure you do!
I'm gonna get in my VEE-HIC-LE and drive over to the Liberry.
kHm
All I want to know is...what does Berry lie about?
I agree! I had a professor that said "liberry)..It cracked me up..he also called it "Armagettigan" !! instead of Armageddan!
How about aks...instead of ask..
or biness...instead of business! In kids it can be cute but grownups?
My grandson calls his stomach his tummily.OK for 3!

That is so funny! I've heard that which a few times myself!
Oh my...I used to have a friend in school who said that all the time. He also called a chimney a "chimley." One of my cousins used to say "waynesdee" instead of Wednesday.
Bahaha. Well, I just recently realized that I say "Jerry" instead of Jury. Opps.
This one is a classic, and as TQM is a librarian, she has heard it ad nauseum!
Smiles to you Miss Freckles,
