A frustrated boyfriend is sick of his girlfriend's 'quirky' habit that sends him up the wall. The man, 26, has been dating his 24-year-old girlfriend for just over a year and says they're otherwise a perfect match. But one thing is pushing him to the brink: her refusal to pronounce common words correctly, despite his repeated attempts to correct her.

'It's not like she's joking or trying to be funny. She genuinely thinks she's saying them correctly,' he wrote on Reddit. 'I’ve tried correcting her so many times, but it’s like it goes in one ear and out the other. Within minutes, she’ll go back to saying the wrong version again.'.
While some people might let a little mispronunciation slide, he says the issue has become 'unbearable' because she repeatedly butchers even the simplest of words. 'She says 'Chick-fil-ee' instead of 'Chick-fil-A', 'liberry' instead of 'library', and 'cipatol' instead of 'capitol'.'.
He added, 'She always says words wrong, mixing up letters or replacing vowels with other sounds because she likes them better that way. 'Sometimes it's the same word, other times it feels like she just decides she doesn't like how a particular word sounds on a particular day.

But what really grinds his gears is when she mispronounces things that matter to him personally - like his hometown. 'We're in 'Chiago' instead of Chicago, where I grew up, visiting my family right now. It's like she doesn't even care,' he fumed.
