Something that drives me crazy. It's *not* ortopsy
I enjoy watching forensic and true crime shows on the tube when I can, but it bugs me when everyone says "ortopsy". I thought it was "autopsy". Am I wrong?


Yeah yeah yeah, I have *real* problems in my life...lol.

1. I've got a tip for you:
Don't watch Australian true crime shows.

6. Here's one I hate:
A simple bathroom appliance, the toilet. Here in TX we say "Tawlet," while in New York they say "Terlet."

12. I thought we say "Toylet"
you know, the way its spelled? Terlet just sounds weird.

Technically, Im from New Jersey, and we dont call it Joisey, so I might be disqualified here.
