almostlovers:
These two incidents happened this week:
My mother, after a long argument about why she should go watch Star Trek, proclaiming she “will never watch Sci-Fi!” (except she pronounces it as “SKY-FI”)
My boss, while explaining a new television show we might produce, talking about robots (except she pronounces it as “RO-BUTT”)
