Alternate Pronunciations for words:
One of my biggest pet peeves about the English language (and I am by no means a linguistic scholar) is how readily we adopt and incorporate improper or "alternate" pronunciations.
For example, listen to the proper pronunciation of this word/phrase as compared with the alternate pronunciation offered: http://www.webster.com/dictionary/Son%20of%20a%20Bitch (click on the little red speakers to play the pronunciations)
