Glove "Department"?

How many of you guys know people that call their glove compartments, glove “departments”? For whatever reason, I’ve been hearing my friends use the term “glove department” a lot lately, and even if I correct them, they insist that they are correct! I guess I just don’t really understand why people tend to think it’s “glove department” rather than “glove compartment”.

That would bug me. I’m also mildly annoyed by people who refer to the median as the meridian, anyone who says “labtop”, pronouncing deck-els instead of de-cals... I could probably go on.

LOL, that’s a new one. “Meridian”. I’d die laughing if I heard one of my friends say that.

“Deck-el” is in fact the correct pronunciation.

The median/meridian thing really gets me though, cause it’s just so much the wrong word that it takes me a bit to catch on. It also bugs me a bit when people call it a boulevard.

I side with the UK and US on this one. Deck-el offends my lizard brain, for some reason I can’t quite understand.

Never heard it called that. But I prefer potato box.

Never heard of “Glove Department” or “Labtop” but I have hard of people calling bumpers “bumbers”. I want to tear my hair out each time I hear it. What on earth gets people on these odd pronunciations?

I new one teacher who called it the ‘liberry’ instead of ‘libRary’

She was a crappy teacher.

Yeah... that’s just as dumb as when people say ‘I could care less’ when they actually mean ‘I couldn’t care less’.

Pronouncing hommage with a hard h and g. Technically it is correct but it sounds like it should be a french word.

That, and “irregardless”. For one, there is no such word. And even if it was a word, it would literally mean “not without regard”, which is the opposite meaning for which most people misuse it.
