On the radio news, I heard that "Martha Stewart will hear her 'sedence' tomorrow. Why do people have such trouble with that word?

Have you noticed that even weathermen say "tempature" for temperature--and if you hear the word "mee-ur" in a news item or commercial, it probably means mirror.

Welcome to the chopped liver club, eta
I'm sorry about the whole can o' peas, eta. I was in chat mode, not in pay attention and be serious about words mode. Imagine my embarassment if only I weren't an AI?
sedence
I guess it could mean she'll be sitting this one out.
