Misspellings aren't so bad. Or mispronunciations. Unless someone decides to make a big deal about it...and won't drop a simple slip of the tongue...
Not that I'm bitter...

I don't know what you're talking about.

The lower left one is Takase River. My friend Masa (who sent me this link) just moved to a new house here with his wife. The two little orange dots right next to each other below and to the right of it are the middle school (the box with the line through middle vertically) and the elementary school (the one that looks kinda like a closed umbrella). I lived *right* next to the junior high school, which is where I worked. The red circle is probably the town office...it was on my side of the river just down the road from the elementary school.
The camera the farthest right is Fureai Park - this is the onsen, or public bath, in town. This is also where I found my kitty Hikari, abandoned by her previous owners and surviving off lizards and bugs she could catch herself and food she could beg off the patrons of the onsen.
Well, I was deleting old emails and found the one with this link from a friend in Mino-cho.
Exploding FHDM out of jealousy is just a bonus! :)
Admit it. You just like spending time in the Joss Whedon box.
-Shovels FHDM into the box with a 'Best of Buffy' DVD.
Enjoy.

My oldest sister pronounces pool, pull and pole exactly the same. And it's kind of a mix of PUll and pOLE. Kinda pOUl... or something like that.

Going to school in Texas -- it took me a while before I figured out that "tar" was the round thing you changed on the car.

She also can't pronounce aluminum to save her life. In fact when I say things like 'alumumninimun', I am in fact mocking her. Not nearly as enjoyable as it was when we lived closer and she heard me doing it, but *I* know I'm making fun of her and that's what counts, isn't it?

Though, to be fair... I and my youngest older sister grew up talking about the hippomopotamuses... However, I got over my error.

Oof. :(
What was the Harry Potter one? That one comes to mind, but I don't know what was being mispronounced. :\

"Pique" really confused me. Then there are words that don't make ANY sense whatsoever -- "Colonel". And ones that are technically not English -- "hors d'oeuvres".
You don't really appreciate just how messed up the English language is until you have children. "Have" and "Come" are simply wrong.

It is a sponge of a language. It picks up everything, like a sham-wow.
