We all make mistakes, and sometimes we're just in too much of a rush to be perfect. One day we were at a get together, and I said "expecially," followed by whatever it was I was about to say. My friend jumped in and said, "The word is especially, pronounced with an s not an x." I know that, but it's not something that has ever been corrected in my speech. It was really embarrassing in a group of people. I feel for you!Karen Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272747678480176988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486351555660935431.post-40741846279130798482012-06-22T13:01:37.494-07:002012-06-22T13:01:37.494-07:00I didn't how to ride a bike, use bleach in a w...I didn't how to ride a bike, use bleach in a washing machine or spell y'all until embarrassingly recently.

Never changed.<br /><br />Do you say Yuge instead of Huge? ;)<br />Thanks for stopping by -- our blog is a one-stop blog, too.Good Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09199803488145525441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486351555660935431.post-49778278137023885892012-06-21T13:39:24.598-07:002012-06-21T13:39:24.598-07:00I knew I liked your right away, Lisa!

Silly thing is, most of the time, I DO KNOW the word, using it correctly, but try as I might, it doesn't come out the way others may say it. So...it's MY WAY! Who says who's correct? LOL!!<br />I was thrilled to see you post and how exciting you mentioned me! I am so happy our conversation got you to get at it! Now, on to crafty things! TRY OUT for our team! You have my "vote"! :) It was so nice talking with you last night! <br />Teresa<br />www.createenjoyshare.blogspot.comTeresaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937572686136674708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486351555660935431.post-78033733726669145652012-06-21T09:34:23.960-07:002012-06-21T09:34:23.960-07:00We have family discussions on pronunciation all th...We have family discussions on pronunciation all the time. For instance, is it "wash" or "worsh," "egg" or "aig"? You get the idea. Of course, my way of saying it is right - the rest of them are hicks.
