s/o: pronunciation posts from this morning

Do you ever mentally correct someone's grammar or pronunciation when speaking with them?  I find myself doing this more and more lately.  Of course, I suppose it is better than verbally correcting them, right?

Miss.Modular

yes of course!

Yes, I mentally correct. There is a man in my nursing class that always corrects the teacher if she says something differently than the way he thinks it should be said. So annoying.

Luckily, I don't work or deal with many people who don't speak intelligently.  If they slip up, I'll tend to correct them if it's a one-on-one convo.

In order to preserve my sanity, I only mentally correct message board retardation.  I put it through my intarweb-speek filter, and ignore the abominations, unless it's totally unintelligible.  Then I usually ask "Would you like to try that again, this time in English?"

Yea I do it verbally... on accident.  I can't help it!  I'm not ugly about it but it just happens.  Hence the reason my nickname at work is "spell check"...

Ack... one exception.  My birth class instructor always talks about the ripening of the "Cervex".  not cerVIX, cerVEX.  Drives me apeshit.
