"100 Most Often Mispronounced Words and Phrases in English"

A pearl thence:
"Judgement" is governed by one of the rare rules of English orthography, so why not enjoy it? After (c) and (g), (e) is retained to indicate the letter is "soft," i.e. pronounced like (s) or (j), respectively. Omitting it indicates it is "hard," i.e. pronounced (k) or (g), as in "fragment," "pigment". If we write "management," "arrangement," we should write "judgement," "acknowledgement," "abridgement." The presence of the (d) is of no significance to English orthography.

- "The Chaos", which appears on one of the mispronunciation pages, will make a terrific exercise for my speech class students, most of whom are quite confused about how to pronounce even the simplest of English words, eg "face" (which often comes out (fæs)) and "alive" (which often comes out (@ 'lIv)).

I was wondering this morning why for baby we say "baybee" instead of "bahbye". It might be worth picking up as an affectation.

The first entry I checked at the site cited in the post below is:
"calendar
This word has an (e) between two (a)s. The last vowel is (a)."
Evidently, they are unaware that "calender" is also a word.

[nq:1]You got me, babe.[/nq]
While sitting in a coffeshop, I noticed that there are two types of yuppies, the dog-yuppies and the baby-yuppies, and they don't seem to mix. In a flash of insight, I conceived of the 'daby', half dog/half baby, which can be cooed over by either set of friends. Patent pending.

I agree the site is rather limited. However, it does mention a number of the words we were discussing the other day.
