Hmmm... That IS a good point.

I don't know if Wikipedia is considered a reliable source (Belgium) but maybe it is.

My boss pronounces especially as ek-speshully. Taut as taunt, and exfolliant as eks-foiliant.

Aks is such a pet peeve of mine.

Belgian is a common name given to things (dogs, horses, beer) that originated in the country of Belgium. Therefore (as much as it irks my ears too) when someone calls a horse a Belgium its technically not wrong.. Belgium refers to the country, belgian refers to something refering to or originating from the country.. poe-tayto...pah-tat-o

Oh wow , you do that too? I thought that we were the only ones lol . I grew up with that, and I've gotten used to it, so when i actually payed attention it was like WOW! It was funny cause i was trying to say some of the words the right way and I couldn't.
We also say:
y'alz
g'night
taaagger (tiger)
jagwaaarr (i think most people say it jagweir)
git r done
give r gas
eh
schedule (sc-eh-dual) instead of (shed-ual)
We make our vowels long and trill our r's.
there are more, I just didn't know until recently.

BTW, what's wrong with saying Bi-knock-u-lers?

Edit: Oh, and I say ambliance and libry (library)

Thats about the only mispronunciation I can think of that drives me nuts.. hence why it has been my signature forever now! LOL

[Ringo]

Drives me nuts when people say melk instead of milk, lags instead of legs or aggs instead of eggs. Also, when people say jag-wire instead of jag-waar.
