Using "of" instead of "have," e.g. should of known better!

Medcine instead of medicine.

I see nothing wrong with skedule. By analogy with the sh pronunciation, we should be calling a school a 'shool'

My book called 'How to pronounce it' by Alan Ross (no date but it cost £1.50 new!) says that medicine should be pronounced MED-sen, two syllables not three. The second e is the 'schwa' as in 'the'. I wonder why.

According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online, medsen is the British pronunciation, and med-i-cine is the US pronunciation.

Can't stand Haich for Aitch. Or "I should of done that", which I have seen written in novels!

I like Chimbley, it has a certain ring to it, I may start using that.

And even the lovely Carol Kirkwood says "Englind" and "Scotlind" as do some other presenters of the weather.
