My top five favorite misspoken/idiolectal forms (phonemicised where
appropriate using duct tape [what website has the conlang sound
standards?])
5. Predizent - titular (*snicker*) leader of the USA
4. Nucular - I don't USE this one, I just fall down laughing every time

3. Kansas ("CANS awe") - street names here are all state names
2. Arkansas ("are can SASS") - ditto
1. Canadia - amusing malapropism derived from Canadian
