      Okay that's what I thought...LOL
      I grew up the opposite it was pronounced Often and people now pronounce it as offen and it sounds lazy to me...LOL

                While it already been mentioned, it drives me nuts to he ax instead of ask - I feel like shouting "there is an "s" in the word".

                    Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've always pronounced "often" with a "t", that's not normal?

                      Same here. Of course I also say root instead of route.

                        Why would any word that's mispronounced bug anybody? The original list posted is mostly American southerners.

                                Excape instead of Escape

                                Last I checked there is no X in escape
