And to me, that’s one of the EASIEST to fix - “Me and my girlfriend went out on the town and got hammered tonight!” Remove the girlfriend, and “Me went out on the town…” doesn’t make any sense.

LOL! I remember the ‘sermon’ on that from high school grammar.
I could probably deliver it!

And of course there’s always that delicious “Me and her went to…”

Not to me. I’m a medical writer and I correct this all the time when I am reviewing someone else’s writing (usually a bench scientist with no medical writing experience).
I’m in the day-tuh camp.

How do you say Sabich?
Say Beek?
Saa Bihk?
Sabeech?
(post deleted by author)
Su(h)-beeKH – guttural “kh” sound
(no aspiration in the middle – the “sa” is pronounced like “the” when there’s a consonant after)

Sabich is an Iraqi Jewish word, not a Hebrew word, so most of what I’ve read online re: pronunciation uses a hard k for the ch, rather than the ch in challah , Chanukah and chutzpah.
I had been using the Hebrew ch previously.
yes, hard, that’s why i wrote kh
Pronunciations are tough by reading 
(My understanding is that Arabic has 2 such gutturals, but (modern) Hebrew only uses 1 now. Similar gutturals exist in Urdu, but are lost in Hindi even when the words are the same. Also true for other such sounds from Persian & Arabic – Q/K. Ph/F, and so on. On the flip side, there are several “S” and “R” sounds that don’t go the other way.)

I was schooled by my son over the weekend that I was pronouncing Ajvar incorrectly. Kids can be such a joy. In my defense, even though I’ve purchased and enjoyed ajvar for years, I just never heard it pronounced.

Like most folks don’t know the different between alum, alumna, alumni, etc. Even the alumni themselves.

The whole house smells like pizza.
Unfortunately, nobody is making pizza. It’s merely our oven self-cleaning after last night’s sssssssmokay chicken cookery.

A while ago I was seasoning a cast iron skillet (baking it in the oven). Sunshine came in all excited and asked “What are you baking??” I told her nothing – just seasoning a cast iron skillet.
The look of sadness and disappointment quickly washed over her face as she left the kitchen.
