Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

on the same subjectI live in the West Country - my local Co-op used to be a cinema and is called Scala. When I say "I live near Scarla" the local straw-munchers say "oh you mean Scaler!". These are the kind of people that I meet down my local, ordering Becks Vyer instead of Becks Fear. *sigh*
EDIT just remembered a few mispronunciations from my happy time as a QC technician in a factory in an obscure South Wales valley. My manager pointed out to me a box of foam pads that had been labelled "Form Pads". How we laughed! One of the line leaders also thought that Sorbet was pronounced Sore Bit. I'd have loved her to ask Gordon Ramsey for a Sore Bit :)
