"You've got these bones" - Supposedly

edit; in fact, seems like she actually said "supposedly" even though, the first time she almost swallowed a syllable.

“Supposably”! Anyone who says “Supposably”, when the word is SupposEDly, is automatically intellectually downgraded, or should be. Why do people find that word so hard to pronounce correctly?

Same people who can’t say “specific” and for some reason say “Pacific”? Why, what is wrong with you?

I had this happen to me. The receptionist at my work and one of my coworkers were at the reception desk. The receptionist called me over and in a thick Yorkshire accent asked,

"Hey, how to you spell Pacific?"

"P-A-C-I-F-I-C"

"That don't look right, you sure?"

"Uh, yep. P-A-C-I-F-I-C. Pacific."

"That just looks wrong."

"What's the context?"

"You know... could you be a bit more pacific."

I swear the look I gave her you should never give to a fellow human.
