WE CAN’T SAY JUST why mispronouncing words is so annoying, but it is.
And these ones are guaranteed to send shivers of terror down your spine, every time.

3. “Thongue”
Making an already disgusting-sounding word more disgusting. Please cease.
4. “Chicargo”

5. “Pacifically”
*pretends to have heard ‘specifically’*
6. “For all intensive purposes”
Repeat after us: “For all intents and purposes.” Thank you.
7. “Heigth”
*begins to sob*
8. “Thighland”/”Thigh green curry”
*resists the urge to blurt “It’s TAI-land, actually”*
9. “Thought”
