Grammar lesson

To the (sadly growing number of) speech delinquents in my office. Please review the following vocabulary words.

Mouth: pronounced just as it is spelled. “Mouf” is not the correct pronunciation.

(likewise) Fourth: pronounced the same way as forth, and just how that is spelled. “Forf” is yet another incorrect pronunciation.

(again, likewise) Health: pronounced “helth,” not so much “helf.”

Please make a note of it, fellas. You’re over 30 and well-educated. Good Lord.
