Not nearly as bad as someone who tries to shorten "about" to "bought".

Actually, that’s exactly what it means. Who is more of an authority on the English language, you or the English?

I never knew that Jim McKay, the ESPN announcer, was Canadian until I heard him say "shedule" while reporting the outcome of the Black September attack on the Israeli Olympic team.

That's how it works. Compare texts from 200, 500, and 800 years ago.

I made the switch to the British pronunciation back in ‘93 when I learned that preparations for a prehistoric theme park were progressing well along their planned timeline

It's amazing, eh? An English person now wouldn't be able to understand their ancestors from then.

Anyone ever heard it said like SH-ed-dule?

He does this to piss off Liberals. It's one of the litmus tests that is Rush Limbaugh.

Also, he's saying it like that because of William F. Buckley.

I never said it like sh-edule” until I saw Jim Carrey in The Grinch. He said the line “Even if I wanted to go, my shedule wouldn’t allow it!”

My kids said that over and over and now I say it that way too.

Here is a link to the clip.

Unless you are pronouncing it that way as a joke I immediately think you are a gay.
