Re: Do you correct them

<span style="font-style: italic">NO</span>body pronounces the second 'C&quot; in Connecticut -- ! Not even those who are born and raised in that state

'Connetikit' is how its said .... if someone says 'ConneCT-i-cut, everybody knows they not from around here. Just one a those things, like nobody ever says Feb-ROO-ary -- it's Feb-U-ary.

as far as the topic regarding using absolute wrong words (not pronunciation), if it's someone i know well and care about, I'll edimicate them on the word they're looking for so they don't come off looking/sounding like an idiot.

If it's someone i don't know, then i'll just laugh at 'em (to myself i mean, not out loud or to their face) - for tryna front like they're <span style="font-style: italic">so</span> smart and impressive, when really, they're just showing themselves to be a pretentious dummy.

yah i know it's mean but i gottsta get my private jollies somehow
