The Hellhole

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

You know what's irking me today? When people say "joolery" instead of "jew-el-ry". I hear Sean Hannity do this every single morning during this commercial for a local jewelry store on WSB radio. Note that - it's a local JEWELRY store, not a JOOLERY store. I don't know why it's irking me so badly, but it is.

  • Can I contribute as irritations 'sickth' for 'sixth', 'seckerterry' for 'secretary', 'febbery' for 'february' and the all time most egregious example of mangled English 'nooclear'

  • What about that 'joolery' store guy who constantly refers to diamond, ruby or sapphire PENNANTS???

    I want to call the station and scream at him that a PENNANT is a flag! and the thing hanging from the chain is a PENDant!

    grrr

  • Neil, I'll see your comment and raise you a "liberry" for "library".

    Mom, who says "pennant"? I don't recall hearing that one. Now I'll be on the lookout. Er, listenout.
