[Paradox]

Ok, pet peeve time. I am fairly certain that the correct pronounciation of "cache" is CASH, not cashAY. Reporters and soldiers are getting it wrong, or who knows, I could be wrong I suppose...

[Unknown Freeper]

I thought i was the only one being annoyed by that. One of the morning show guys did that the other day but someone corrected him.

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

No, you're right.

Isn't he the same guy who pronounces "cordon" as "kor-dahn" rather than "kor-d'n"?

[Anomaly in Illinois]

I have a friend who corrects me for pronouncing it 'cash' grrrr

When they stopped teaching Phonics, spelling and pronunciation went down the tubes.
