It works that way for CFL and WHL games. You’re good to go.

I mispronounce stuff on purpose to annoy my wife.

I do it so much that I let an 'irregardless' slip at a meeting once. That one is one of her top pet peeves.

The one that gets me (and I have no idea why) is when people pronounce Italian as EYE-talian. I never heard this all my life growing up, and in the last few years I've heard it from a couple friends. Where does that pronunciation come from?

[CarlLester]

To cross contaminate these posts about pronunciations, if you ever hear Derek Wills on the radio, pay attention to how he says Ruzicka and Treliving. And then hate me afterwards.

Not a mistake, but due to Simpsons, I always pronounce gym as "guy-mm" and Visa as "V-eye-za". But I don't bother explaining it afterwards when I say it to people who don't know the reference, I just let them think I'm out of my mind.
