I know at least 3 old folks who refer to the town where Mississippi State University is located as "Starksville". It isn't an extra syllable, but an extra letter. Does that count?

quote:

“Spear-a-mint”

As opposed to “spear-mint.”

Common in south Louisiana.


Well shite. I had to go to the google machine to double check you. For 43ish years I've said spear-a-mint. To old to change now.

Temperature pronounced Temp-per-a-ture bugs me as it should be Temp-puh-chure.

“Had seen” - just say “I saw”
“Had gone or had went” - just say “I went”

Hate it when people say "acrossed" instead of across.

Knew an old man that always said “Chi-car-go” instead of “Chicago”

Argued with me that that is how it was pronounced when he was growing up.

I explained that no , no it wasn’t ever ever pronounced like that

I’m amazed at the number of people in this thread who don’t know what a syllable is.
