Good first impressions...

Start with speech...

People mispronounce the English language so frequently, that it is custom for people to accept the incorrect forms. Here is a sample of general words that are mispronounced everyday…

1. Revelant… the correct term is Relevant.
2. Realator… No, it is Realtor, someone who helps you buy or sell a home.
3. “I seen”… God, that phrase just sounds retarded. It is either “I saw” or “I have seen”.
4. Supposably… I am at fault for this one. The term should be Supposedly.
5. Expecially… It’s Especially.
6. Then there’s Advice and Advise… Lord Almighty, one’s a verb and the other is a noun! They don’t even sound right when used incorrectly!

Just take a week and try to find your mispronunciations, it can be quite humorous. Mine is “Remember”, I tend to say “Renember” when I don’t think about saying it correctly.
