It's worse, though, when I meet people who *insist* on calling me cor-EEN b/c "it has an e on the end which makes the i a long vowel." I had a girl who constantly did this ask me, "Why prn it cor-IN if there's an e on the end? Shouldn't it rhyme with chlorine?" (As if I like having my name compared to a chemical!) I asked if she prn feminine as femineen and masculine as masculeen and that shut her up. ;o)
