My favorite word frick up that I see on this site every so often is when someone refers to a self centered person as a pre-madonna.

Same here. It dawned on me a year ago and blew my mind.

A former girlfriend of mine thought "heathren" was the proper way to pronounce "heathen". Couldn't believe it.

Rural

I pronounce it rual.

Its pronounced rural.

Its physically impossible for me to say the correct enunciation without throwing in an r.
