Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

I think the "nucular" instead of "nuclear" thing gets me the worst, especially when the president does it, and quite a few of them have. I used to have a boss who always said "incentative" instead of "incentive". It was one of his favorite words, & he always managed to use it at least a few times at any meeting with clients. Made me friggin' cringe every time! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: SUPPOSEBLY...

Orientate is also not a word. The correct word is orient.

"I will orient you to your new job."
"I have been oriented to my new surroundings."

The "T" in often is silent. I edited the post.

No... this just depends on where you're from. Pronouncing the "t" in "often" is also correct.
"Neither" and "Either" are two more locale examples, the vowels can be pronounced differently and still be correct.

The pronunciation can be either, but I hate when people mix up neither and either.

Neither is to be used with nor, as in "Neither you, nor I, have tickets to the game".

Many people with say "me either" which is incorrect. It should be "me neither".

Either is to be used with or. For example: "I could either walk to school, or I could ride my bicycle".

"Me either" is contradictory.

<BLOCKQUOTE>Usage Note: During the 15th century English experienced a widespread loss of certain consonant sounds within consonant clusters, as the (d) in handsome and
handkerchief, the (p) in consumption and raspberry, and the (t) in chestnut and often. In this way the consonant clusters were simplified and made easier to
articulate. With the rise of public education and literacy and, consequently, people's awareness of spelling in the 19th century, sounds that had become silent sometimes were restored, as is the case
with the t in often, which is now frequently pronounced. In other similar words, such as soften and listen, the t generally remains silent.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD>
