When I was in college there was a woman who worked in the library, and she pronounced it "liberry" -- really. ld:

Oh, I believe it. In the early 1980s I worked as a typesetter* ...
*Oh gosh. Do people even know what a typesetter was?! Am I really that old?!
.....My pet peeve is when folks don't learn how to properly spell something that is a prominent part of their lives. One should learned how to spell what they do for a living ("trukdriver") or what they sell ("ukaleles").
Prominent indeed. I keep telling my wive I need to spell better
I wonder if you forgot the "s" on the end of "wives" John.
Couldn't agree more Jim, it's always ''couldn't care less'' for me. I worked for about ten years in print media. One of the more important team members was always the Proof reader, a job that seems to have gone by the wayside these days. Well remember one article he corrected, about Marilyn Monroe spelled Mariline Munro. I notice you are an Ontarian? (is that a word?) Does your spelling follow English English or American English?
