I won't use the word "peeve" (oops!) because that peeves (whoops!) off some folks.
But here we are: I am totally annoyed at newscasters' pronunciation of 'schedule' as if it had three syllables, to wit: sked-ju-al. This of course does not apply to cross-ponders, at least those of the Brit persuasion. What about the rest of y'all? Have you heard this? Does it bother you?
Any other disgruntlements of late?
'nu-cu-lar' doesn't count (we've been there and done that)

has two syllables, whether it's written or spoken: Shed-yule. Just kidding. Sked-joule.

Pronouncing spellings is as *understandable as spelling pronounciations.

sked-ju-al
This is close to the second of three AHD approved pronunciations.

Personally I don't like pet peevers who pronounce "Schedule" with airs and leave out the "C".
It is pronounced (SCHEGE uaal).
And "poem" is pronounced (PO em) not (POME), which sounds redneck.

Let's not discuss schedules, ok, next time we talk in the real world. The way I pronounce it would send shivers up your spine. Try as I may, mine ends up being 3-syllables. Cut me some slack, and we could say it's a diphthong thang.

Gruntle is an intransitive verb.

Yes, my grammar in that last post was quite dishevelled but I think this post makes up for it with its hevelment.

"Jeez. With all of this disgruntlement about I wonder if any of you are ever gruntled."
But wouldn't you be appointed if they were?

Well, the fact that we've been misspelling it for the last few hundred years…
