Mispronouncing an easy brewery name

can't say i've ever bothered to give it a second thought but i have also heard people talking about 'longboat' before and wondering if they were referring to the same place. guess that clears it up.
on the subject of st louis area breweries i've never understood everybody having a difficult time saying schlafly, it's really pretty straightforward people jesus christ

 

I used to think it was Wynbridge instead of the actual name, Wyndridge.

 

I hear many mispronunciation of many words every day and addded letters or twisted names.

I don’t care if you call it Victory or Viceroy, Bells or Balls.

I get more annoyed when people use a word incorrectly.

I feel bad for others when they misuse words in type

To, Too, Two
There , Their
It’s a lot, alot is not a word


Enjoy

 

Smithwicks.

 

I only get mad if someone is arguing with me and acts like I'm stupid then uses the wrong word or words.

 

I don’t say anything, unless it’s my kids. It just bugs me.

Enjoy

 

I’m not an English Prof, it’s seriously not all that important imo. It’s hard to be critical unless your willing to be criticized. Most don’t like it.

 

Hm, should have heard me try to pronounce lagunitas the first half year of good beer drinking.

 

The number of people I've heard call it "Jack Abbys" or misspell it "Jack's Abbey" would depress you. it depresses me.

 

Anhoozer-Busch
Cores
Dos EK-wis
Ho' Garden

 

We have a local brewery called Flyway. People ALWAYS call it Flyaway. Drives me nuts.

 

Maybe the brewery might have given that one a bit more thought, but still they know who they are

 

My dad still calls it Lagun-eye-tis. Makes it sound like a disease.

 

I think it's mental/verbal predisposition. One that I am very guilty of

 

Ha. If you've done it around me I didn't notice.

 

It's that screwed accent I have, I can't understand me half the time

 

Seems to me that brewers could prevent any confusion simply by including a phonetic pronunciation on the label. You know, like lah-goo-KNEE-tuss does.

 

People don’t really mispronounce it, but after a few pints the name Sibling Revelry doesn’t really roll off the tongue easily....
