Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.
I’m thinking in the U.S. and Canada. For example, if you’re on vacation, you’ve checked out of your hotel room and have several hours until your flight, and you have some cans of beer left over.

I’m kidding - just a friendly heads up that I got myself added as a mod here, since the original mod seems to have disappeared (I’m not trying to “dirt road” them or anything)....

What is the best hip hop lyric of all time?
is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.?

Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?
Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
