I have just ordered several bottles of spirits for my cocktail ingredients collection from DrinkSupermarket.com. Here is part of their message to me confirming my order:
Here is my email just sent to info@drinksupermarket.com:
I mean, enough’s enough, right?
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Personally, I’d just take the booze and leave it at that. You might find yourself not buying from anyone, the way things are these days. Just sayin’…
I know. My list is getting pretty long. …
… I just typed out a fair bit of it here … and then realised that almost every item was politically charged. At least this time it’s only the ignorance of the offending company that’s putting me off, not outright evil.
You can’t rightly ascribe bad copy to anyone other than who wrote it. Well, on the other hand, the company can in certain instances become culpable:
Remember this?
It caused an internet flurry, but the company still hasn’t changed it yet. A curious obstinacy, that.
They’re infallibly delicious.
That’s an offer? Holy smoke, that’s like 2 years’ worth of booze spending for me. It had better be free, because after consuming that much at once I’ll be in no condition to pay the bill.
I forget now … Did they omit an “o”? 
Yes, I remember the popable minis. I wonder if he has?
If who has what?
C’mon. After a sentence like that, you haven’t got a leg to stand on. 
Okay, here are a couple from the latest fashion in mispronunciations that get my goat on foodie programs:
“Sommelier” is not pronounced “Somali-ey”. It is “So-Mell-Yay”. So-Mell-Yay. That is the French way, so if you must be pretentious, at least do it up right. You’re welcome.
“Offal” isn’t even spelled to rhyme with “oval”. Yes, the right pronunciation sounds like “awful”, but there you have it. Who cares about the jokes. You’re welcome again.
Now go, and sin no more.
If you must be truly pretentious, the French pronunciation is actually closer to Sum-muh-lyay. 
Baby steps, MTGuru; baby steps.
Why, the pope has minied of course. What else would I mean? 
Mispronunciations I have hated include:
“Mewt” for moot;
“Lon-zher-ay” for lingerie; and
“Pronounciation” for pronunciation.
Grrr …
By the way, I’ll just mention that DrinkSupermarket just emailed me again to tell me that my delivery is “on it’s way!” With an exclamation mark, for heaven’s sake …
Good lord. Did I miss the Reformation?
As for “lingerie”, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I just go with the flow…
Defiant AND perky! That’s cute. 
Er … yeah … about that “cute” word … 
My latest pet peeve has been “lugzhurry” instead of “luxury.”
Yes, I see what you mean. I hadn’t noticed it too much … but I will now.
Well, that’s dialectal/regional around NYC, where it’s the usual correct pronunciation. The phonetic rule being that [-voiced] “x” can assimilate to [+voiced] “gz” between vowels or voiced consonants. So “example” → egg-Zample, but “export” → eks-Port (though there may be slight voicing of the latter). In my speech, the two pronunciations are in free variation.
Sure, there are regionalisms I find uneducated, like PO-lease (a riverfront rental in northern Italy?) and EYE-rack (a display stand for eyeballs?). But watcha gonna do?
Of course, unless you’re pronouncing “luxury” as “Luck-syoorie” and not “Luck-shurry”, you’re also engaging in some phonetic hanky-panky. 
I told you I didn’t dial ANY of those 900/976 numbers.
I voice the TH in “with”. Not exclusively, but definitely most of the time. So where’s my naysayer? Come at me, bro.
