I blame some of my grammer problems on the possibility of being sightly dyslexic, some on bad habits and the rest on Mary Poppins. My husband is frequently correcting me, I often say things a little off or just plane old wrong.
I take little pride in the fact that I don't say libary(library) or axed (asked), I should know better. But my current issue isn't much better...chimney. I pronounce it as chimeney.
Click here to listen to Dick Van Dyke sing "Chim Chimn cher-ee" and see where it all began to go down hill for me!
But it's not all hopeless. Keep me away from Disney movies and I may get chimney yet. With time and hard work I have already stopped saying salza (salsa), Berzil (Brazil) and many other odd pronunciations.
