How Do You Say ...

Americans fucking wind me up with their ways of (mis)pronouncing words on cookery shows like -
‘Erbs instead of herbs
Baysil instead of basil
Aluminum instead of aluminium

The wife watches that Pioneer Woman and I end up shouting at the tv whenever she’s saying things like that (sad I know!).
Americans cook with aloominum?

You cannot hone in on anything ,home in certainly, it's creeping into mainstream use just like of did when it replaced have.Must mention "bias", almost always wrongly used on BM, "you're bias you are" FFS
 
What about those dozy shitehawks who pronounce "barm" as "muffin"? Not to mention the yanks, and their "a-loo-me-num". Any anyone who, when reading out their phone number says "oh eight six", when it should be "zero eight six". "Oh" is a letter, you dumb fuckers.

Or an exclamation!

Not leaving a space when a new sentence starts drives me mad.
