			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of these, and I&#8217;ve been itching to write about this for so long. But over the years I&#8217;ve heard that people say things that were not what they actually meant. So, I&#8217;ll give you the Top English Mispronunciations both verbal and grammatical. And for those of you wondering, yes, it&#8217;s &#8220;mispronunciations&#8221;, not &#8220;mispronounciations&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>1. WORTH IT vs. WORTHED</strong><br />
Simply put, you cannot say &#8220;this thing is worthed&#8221; while it&#8217;s supposed to be &#8220;this thing is worth it&#8221;. When they sounded the same, it doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s written otherwise.</p>
<p><strong>2. DESERT vs. DESSERT</strong><br />
But people often say, &#8220;I want a desert after eating this.&#8221; No, you don&#8217;t or you&#8217;ll dehydrate.</p>
<p><strong>3. EVENT vs. EVENT (read as &#8220;EVEN&#8221;)</strong><br />
If you read &#8220;event&#8221; as &#8220;even&#8221;, let me tell you this: &#8220;Event&#8221; means &#8220;kejadian&#8221;, and &#8220;even&#8221; means &#8220;walaupun&#8221; or &#8220;genap&#8221;. I don&#8217;t see how they&#8217;re related.</p>
<p><strong>4. NO HEART FEELINGS vs. NO HARD FEELINGS</strong><br />
Seriously, if I ever had a heart feeling to you, I might&#8217;ve been as bad as gay. It&#8217;s supposed to be &#8220;no hard feelings&#8221;. Period.</p>
<p><strong>5. DATELINE vs. DEADLINE</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve covered this on <a href="http://blog.neuro-designs.com/2008/03/08/deadline-or-dateline/">Neuro-Designs&#8217; Blog</a> back in March. And really, there&#8217;s no such thing as a &#8220;dateline&#8221;. It sounded more like a phone sex hotline service than something to indicate a delivery date.</p>
<p><strong>6. CUSTOM vs. COSTUM</strong><br />
It&#8217;s &#8220;custom&#8221; sneakers, not &#8220;costum&#8221; sneakers. What on Earth is &#8220;costum&#8221; anyway? Batman&#8217;s suit?</p>
<p>You know, to me, this is simply a matter of ignorance. Why? Well, for one thing, if you don&#8217;t know, you could always ask first rather than spit out mispronunciations that you &#8220;think&#8221; are right. Second, if you&#8217;re writing this on a computer, there are ALWAYS spellcheckers.</p>
