It's pronounced:
"chimney" - not "chimley".
"column" - not "Khall-EEWm"
"Hawaii" - not "Howaryah"
"mermaid" - not "marrymaid"
"supposedly" - not "supposebly"
"Ida " - not "Ahder"
"Sarah" - not "Sayrah"
"regardless" - NOT "irregardless"
Whew. I feel better now. Anybody else got one just eating away at them? Also, am I the only one that wants to claw my face off and stamp my feet and scream "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!!" when you hear these things in the midst of an otherwise professional meeting? (Not that doing such would be anything other than the epitome of professionalism! By all means!)
