How about "mis-cheev-ius" as a pronunciation for mischievous? I abhor that. I even heard Ann Curry say it incorrectly doing the news on the Today Show a few months back.
And there's a local commercial for a restaurant in Tri Cities, WA, that has a versa-tile menu.......yikes! What do they serve???
I like "fixing to." I grew up in the Deep South and didn't realize that everybody else in the US didn't say that until I moved out to the Pacific Northwest.
