bonus hax chat q: hubby constantly mispronounces words and it drives her totes cray

Q: It's CLIFF not CLIFT! And the property is well-KEPT, not well-KEP!

My husband mispronounces words constantly. Is it wrong that it bothers me? If so, how do I get over it? Just a little bit of info, if it makes any difference: He is college educated and works in a professional setting. I often try to gently tell him the correct pronunciation (in private only), but he gets really pissed at me. I swear that a major part of the reason I try to correct him is because I don't want him to be embarrassed when he says the same things to a customer or the head of his company. When I mispronounce a word I genuinely want to be told so I can fix it. You know, like if I have food between my teeth at lunch, please tell me so I can fix it. Gah. What do I do?

He doesn't care so leave off correcting him. You're embarrassed on his behalf, which is nice, but he's oblivious. -- nm - TWuG Jun 3, 11:37
