Speakin Currec(ly)

There are some words in English

Almost always pronounced incorrectly

And to this constant concern

I feel obliged to object(ly)

 

Protect comes to mind

As does provide and prepared

These type words are usually

Vocally impaired

 

This habit is so common

The dictionary should be changed

To make their constant incorrect usage

Become correctly rearranged

 

Out with protect, produce and prepare

Now to become perduce, pertect and perpare

Plus persue and persent, to name just a few

Dear dictionary perducer's

Pleese pernounce you've perceeded to made this pre-pear

Almost sounds like a write that the Grammar Police would love, Dave. Though I can get peeved myself when reading things not written correctly. You should send this one to the people at Oxford Dictionary! 💛

I'll get it sent off

I don't know. Before I agree, I'll have to puruse persue more closely.
