The word "ask." It's pronounced "ask" people, not "axe." Good luck!

Oh yeah, I forgot all about fitty and dollas. I hear that a lot in these suburbs of Philly.

We had a customer try to pay with a check that had the amount "One hunitt an fitty dollas" written on it. I'm standing there like, you've got to be kidding me.

#1 Believe it or not, "Australia". I don't mind when the man in the street slurs the word, but when professional radio presenters say "Austraya" it gets up my nose a bit.

#2 Our TV people almost invariably pronounce Las Vegas as LOS Vegas. That's irritating.

#3?

Well there's no number 3. I suppose I could include George Dubya's inability to pronounce "nuclear" but it was so ludicrous it was funny.
