| Thank you, Keith for correcting the pronunciation of "pundit" |
|
I heard him just before I went to sleep last night saying that he heard two people (one was Failin') mispronounce it "pundiNt" and he just had to say something. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Everytime I hear someone say it with that extra "N" I want to scream. It seems most people pronounce it wrong, including some actual pundits.

| 3. Merriam-Webster actually lists sherbert as a proper variant for sherbet. |

I don't say the word enough to know how I normally pronounce it :)

| 4. Every tenth of it has been destroyed. :-) |

And "sherbert" wouldn't be in the dictionary if people didn't keep saying it.
