What is it that causes people to mis-say or mis-pronounce certain words?
For example, when I was in the wireless industry one of our most popular phones was the Nokia. There were a few people who consistently called it a “Nokiddia,” or some similar variation. They’d throw a ‘d’ or a ‘t’ in at random. They weren’t joking.
I worked with someone who always called “analog” “antilog.” “Analog” was a word she heard, or saw in print, a thousand times a day.
Some people call the internet the “internets,” with an S.
Admittedly, the one thing these people had in common was they weren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. But how do they come up with stuff like that?
