My mom does this. I just correct her each and every time. I won't stop until she sees the light. :humph:

It's a little gross, but it KILLS me when women say "ministration." I every single time. The word is men-stru-a-tion. I know it's not one we often look up in the dictionary, but try it. I hear it mostly with women from the south...a couple days ago my professor said it and I almost chucked a textbook at her head. I sat there thinking "You have a doctorate and can't even pronounce that? Thank God Almighty you have a son!"
