Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.
Example:
In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.
You can’t really blame people for mispronouncing a rare or foreign name. It would only be a problem if it was done repeatedly with the intent to offend.
Absolutely. It’s not fair to blame people for honest mistakes. If I implied it was, then that was a mistake!
I do get irritated when they have 2 different pronunciations of a name that’s spelled the same. And they assume the less common one.
