Varange

You want to know what is highly annoying? When people repeatedly mispronounce words. But not only mispronounce them, add to them. Example: A coworker of mine likes to use the word (and I say word in the loosest sense possible because it's not technically a word) "varange" in general conversation. As in "...it would give us a wide varange of possibilities..." I haven't the heart to tell him he could just say "range."

It may annoy me less if I give in and start using it in my own conversation. I have such a wide varange of work pants in my closet, I have difficulty deciding what to wear. I want everyone to use "varange" in a sentence.

I don't like the Varangers or the Vislanders. I miss the Hartford Vawhalers.

I read an article saying that the free varanged poultry are not all they're cracked up to be.

When people mispronouce things, I like to go to the gun varange and blow off steam.

Those who don't consume flesh-products need to varange their beliefs.

Megan came over last night and we gorged ourselves on health foods varanging from giant cheese-filled burritos to chocolate pudding.

I have a wide varange of beverages in my refrigerator, but my favorite is oranjuice, by far.
