First I noticed North Americans pronouncing words as if they were from London's East End. "Buh'n" for Button. "Badmind'n" for Badminton. Then I had a wee rant about Schtrawberry, Schtrong and Schtupid. Now I'm noticing "E-zactly" instead of Exactly. I've heard it six times in one week alone. Three times from the girl on the bus who intoned, "ezactly, ezactly, ezactly" into her phone.Stop. Stop it now.
