If I knew how, I surely would do it! I was also happy to find that list and I sent it to many, many people -- because it annoys me to no end to hear words mispronounced (and misused!). I'm so tempted to say to a 'mispronouncer,' "What school you went?" I suppose I should just excuse them and be a nice, considerate person by ignoring it but, no, I can't -- and so I do correct people. Therefore, I'm sure I am considered a "know it all." Well, at least I feel satisfied that I do something useful for a person every day and that in itself can be "considerate" -- can't it? -Mame- Mary, Thank you so much for your suggestion to send the “100 Most Mispronounced Words” to the president!!
