"Febooary"??? But, I'm at a loss on how someone could mispronounce Massachusetts (I was born there). "Massa CHUS utts"?? You should hear people who try to pronounce Worcester as "Wore chester"! We forgive visitors but local newscasters should really know how to pronounce surrounding town names. It is "Wooster." Don't ask me why, it just is. I'm sure folks in other parts of the country that have local names derived/based on American Indian names have the same problem.
As for quilting PPs, I create my own. As in, I'm now ready to start sewing something that has a deadline only to find that my machine, which was working perfectly a week ago, is having hiccups. Errrrrrr!! It wouldn't be so bad except I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm the one who is doing something wrong, not the machine!
Misprononcing names here is how we know news,traffic, ad people are not from this area.
I am with you on the second one also, be it sew machine or computer, or new digital camera.
