I think you're right; it is just laziness or sloppiness.

And therefore, once the curtain falls on closing night, if I have not remembered the stroke of genius I had the week of the show when creating a final copy of the script a few months later, these changes are forever lost. Sigh.<br /><br />And do people really mispronounce some of the words on that list? I am often mocked because I truly do say February...but some of those minpronunciations just seem very VERY lazy.Smart Asshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09954010233116933321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847974343100499783.post-17083032638405680462011-01-16T12:14:11.368-05:002011-01-16T12:14:11.368-05:00Enjoyed the word list.
