On the radio station I listen to there is a promo by one of the on-air personalities. I don't remember what the promo is for. That's not really important. What is important is the fact that the word "across" is in the promo.
Except when this jerk says it, he says, "acrossT." He is not the first imbecile I've heard add a t to the word. What's up with this? Is he stupid or just illiterate. Can he not read?
This ranks up at the top of my list of pet peeves along with people who say heighTH, when speaking about how tall someone is. People, there is no TH. Width, i'll give you that one, but not on height. No h, no th dipthong action there.
Now I'm all about a silent J, but a silent T? Not so much.
