I95 Listeners Remember Their Loved Ones This Memorial Day
While we may not be hosting a Memorial Day Parade her in Bangor this year, there will still be smaller ceremonies across the state to honor those who have served and sacrificed for this country. Beyond an excuse to have BBQs and 3 day weekends, Memorial Day give us an opportunity to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have given their lives so that we might have the freedoms afforded to us.
This morning we asked you to share the names of the friends and family you ll be remembering this weekend, so we could join in paying tribute to these folks who have made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
What Mispronounced Words Drive You Absolutely Insane?
For our topic of the day today on the Morning Show, we wanted to know what mispronounced words drive you right up the wall?
JStew: Oddly enough, I thought this was going to be much harder than it turned out to be. But then I happened to remember one word that gets me every time when someone flubs it. It happened to be the name of one of my favorite lunch spots, and one of my favorite spices...Chipotle. I would say at least half of the people I hear, pronounce it cha-pole-tay . It is definitely NOT pronounced that way. Most people invert the L and the T. It is correctly pronounced chi-pote-lay . Another one that sends me into the stratosphere of frustration is EX-presso . I dated a girl that used to say it. I m pretty sure we may have broken up over the amount of times I corrected her for saying it wrong. It s with an additional S not an X . ESPRESSO!!!!!!!
