Missing.

In sports, there are winners and losers. In seasons, there are winters and summers. Yet nobody ever says that a certain team was the winter of the world series or that a good tennis player is a frequent winter. Yet millions speak of winner sports, their winner wardrobe and their winner vacation. Even most announcers on tv fail to pronounce the t in winter that is, yes is, pronounced. Why? Is it too much work? Does one's tongue refuse to make the added effort necessary to add that tiny sound? And does the same problem exist with hundreds of other words, thus creating the Atlannic ocean, celebrity innaviews, gigannic ships, Sanna Claus and the ever-popular dennist. Language is music. You wouldn't leave out a note in a song, so why leave a sound out of a word? I don't get it.

Note: Cliche meets ignorance. Today, at least two tv reporters in Miami referred to the Budweiser Clydesdales, who are visiting Miami, as gennel giants.
