Why I Oughtta

I hate it when people pronounce the word “espresso” like it's spelled “express-o.” I'm not normally quite as annoyed at these things, but that one gets me. I mean, it's like it's a totally different word. It's almost as bad as people pronouncing the 's' in Ilinois.

I don't want to turn into crazy language-corrector dude, though. Nobody likes that guy.

Kelsey Grammer did that on Conan O'Brien once. He was going on and on about how he hates the fact that people pronounce the word culinary “cull-in-airy.” When, in fact, it should be pronounced “kyool-in-airy.” He backed it up by saying there were few things less appetizing than the sound “cull.”

So, I sat there, thinking “Fuck you, Kelsey Grammer. Fuck you and your oddly apt name.”
