Do you know anyone who seems to mispronounce everything? I work with a guy who I cannot tell if he does it on purpose or not b/c it's so bad. There has to be a dozen names he mispronounces consistently, then will throw out a new random one every now and then. The reason I bring this up is because the first words he spoke when he came in my office this morning had three mispronunciations in one sentence... You pretty much have to be doing that on purpose right? Do people derive pleasure from it, or do they genuinely just always mispronounce words?
The sentence was ... "Mitsy ("Misty" is her name.. I know, terrible name) is having problems with the Fantic (Fanuc) robot arm again.. and the HMI uses Pro-efficiency (Proficy) Machine Edition, and I don't have that.. Can I borrow your software for a few minutes?
Mitsy sounds like a cats name.. he's known her for like 30 years and still calls her Mitsy instead of Misty.
Fanuc is a huge name in robots.. Fantic doesn't exist... He's been in this business long enough to know what GE Fanuc is.
And I have no idea how you get Pro-efficiency from Proficy, but whatever.
It's almost like he has to be doing it on purpose. There's no way someone can mispronounce so many words…Especially an educated man.<O

I'm sorry, I guess.. I just don't understand the need or ability to mispronounce so many easy words. It literally has grown to grind on my nerves when I talk to him.ernest_t_bass;996095 wrote:Zwick, you create the most pretentious threads.

Yeah and your spelling was "que." Cue also applies. Nice try though.

If you would have said, "Someone called root beer, "rut beer," then OK. But You make this thread where you're complaining about words 99% of the OC doesn't even know anyway. Besides "Misty."ZWICK 4 PREZ;996102 wrote:I'm sorry, I guess.. I just don't understand the need or ability to mispronounce so many easy words.

Yeah but Mitsy and Misty are pretty bad, you have to admit. And if you were in a profession where these words have been in existance your whole career, I'd expect you to know them as well.ernest_t_bass;996120 wrote:If you would have said, "Someone called root beer, "rut beer," then OK.

I said that I understood the "Mitsy" one. No one really cares about the other ones. Regardless of your intentions, it just comes across as another pretentious thread.ZWICK 4 PREZ;996126 wrote:Yeah but Mitsy and Misty are pretty bad, you have to admit.

Yeah and you implied I was meaning "cue" instead of "queue" when I mistakenly wrote "que".. which was not the case. Hence why I wrote queue. Are you following this?.. Nice try though.like_that;996119 wrote:Yeah and your spelling was "que." Cue also applies. Nice try though.

Worked with an engineer that did this. We even came up with a dictionary of his common words. Boss found out and we got in trouble for it though.

working in the sales side of a company that machines some parts, I heard our machinists refer to this machine as faNook, but when on the road visiting customers I have heard others call it a FANic (like panic). Not having direct knowledge of the machine, which is correct?ZWICK 4 PREZ;996039 wrote:

You are the one who failed while trying to act like a smug idiot, not me. Nice to see you running in circles to get your story straight though. "Que" zwicks next fail.

Yes, we've been through this on the last thread. What I'm saying, and what you are not getting, is I did not intend to spell it "cue" as like_that suggested, but rather queue when I misspelled it. Hence I was still wrong in the spelling, but not in the intention.ernest_t_bass;996166 wrote:Look them both up and both (can) have the same meaning.
