I, for one, welcome our new space overlords.
Back home for Christmas and my whole family keep saying "Expresso" instead of "Espresso". I tried correcting and it became a whole Mispronounciation topic.

What's the most mispronounced word you hear?

Mine are:
"Ax" instead of Ask
Supposedly is commonly said as "supposebly"

I recently found out Epitome is supposed to sound like "eh-pee-toe-mee" to "tome":heh:

many pronounce it "Drake" but it's actually pronounced "lame ass bytch" :scust:

at this point I accept expresso as an american dialectic pronunciation. and sort of a different beverage: an espresso comes out of a big stainless steel machine while an expresso comes from a capsule pushed into a little plastic plug in toy.

for me, and this is commonly mispronounced and misspelled:
people use "dominate" as an adjective rather than the correct "dominant"

"Sabonis was dominate last night in the Kings win"

"Mahomes was a dominate force"

Idiots.
