I'm pretty sure you have to be proactive to leverage synergies to achieve a customer-focused paradigm shift that unlocks stakeholder value in a gamified vertical market.

Well played. You must be a corporate puke, like me.

I'm a copy editor. Another variety of corporate puke. : D

I could just about cope with one customer-focused paradigm shift, but you want more than one? Yikes. I'm not a corporate person, though.

I'm not either, really. I'm a tech. I fix things. But they ALWAYS want more than one... : D

How many people do you hear say "artic" in place of "arctic"? It is freezing in "Antartica". He bought an "Artic" Cat ATV.

I do, and I have for decades.

I have to consciously make myself say "arctic" properly.

Round here folks say 'Articat.' We let that slide. But yeah.

Why would you dig a hole in your dog?

Supposably, 9/10 of Americans have English writing scores rated over 80%.

You're probly (sic) right.

No, ju? (no, did you?)

Thee is pronounced/emphasized like "see" with a lisp

Ronald Regan - got both Ray-gun and Reeg-in
Maybe more of regional thing than a mispronunciation.

 

[StudioStuntz]

People attempting (including me) to pronounce the song title "Swlabr" (She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow) like an actual word, which instead was "initialism".

Jack Bruce later commented the "W" stood for "Was".

I took a quick glance at the title when it was released and thought it was a word...Swablar!

Another song wherein the title is never mentioned in the lyrics:

Unacceptable! It's always been "jewellery".

I thought it was jewry.

How about the worldwide mispronunciation of the "W" in WWW dot com. It's "double-U," not "double-yuh-double-yuh double-yuh".

How about the worldwide mispronunciation of the "W" in WWW dot com. It's "double-U," not "double-yuh-double-yuh double-yuh".

And, just as bad when people pronounce it as dubya, dubya, dubya.

To beat an already dead equine, I keep hearing even educated people use a modifier with the word "unique."

That's probably one of the easiest mistakes to avoid; all you have to know is that something is unique or not. No modifiers should be used with the word.

So here's a question: could the word "nearly" be used with "unique"? Seems like that might actually make sense...as something which is an instance of two or three in the world would "nearly be unique."
