Perhaps if you had asked for 'Rid-X' ?

Yeah, that probably would have prevented the miscommunication, but "Rid" was pretty commonly used around here.

Heard a guy talking about a batt-ry the other day. At first I thought he was talking about a tree for bats.

Knew a lawnmower mechanic that pronounced it that way. The other thing I hear a lot is people dropping the double T in words. Ki==en, Ro==en, Bri==le

Just submitted some paperwork to a website. The next message said "Please allow up to 48 to 96 hours for your ... "
Or how about the phrase "It could be as much as 100 or more!"

When I’m reading, I’ve gotten to the point where I can mentally substitute “you’re” for “your” as needed, almost unconsciously.

I still get thrown when “there” is used in place of “they’re”. I usually have to re-read the sentence to understand it.

My 80 year old mom calls lightning, lite-ling. She has a few other quirks too. We just blame it on growing up in Northern Saskatchewan. They are all a little different up there. :)

Mom says Mossican instead of Moccasin. Most times she says 'poisonous snake.'
