> One word: Schedule. I pronounce it with a "sheh". Other people get "skeh" (which I like to call "wrong" =)).
That could be a regional variation. "Skeh" is really the only pronunciation I hear. Usually the only time I hear "sheh", is in a movie or on t.v.. I assumed it was a British pronunciation.
> Also, the confusions between "you're" and "your" bug the heck out of me, as in "where's you're bike?" or "your a moron".
It's in the exact same category as the whole "there", "their", "they're" misunderstandings. I find it soooooo hard to believe that fully functioning adults with 12 to 16+ years of education can't figure out which to use when. It's so simple.
Tra "They're morons" "There! Morons!" "Their morons?" nio
