@ProfessorPlum77 Thank you. I was thinking of Confuscius' circles of relationship.
Of the very many mispronunciations which I've noted, I don't remember having heard that complete fail of a rendering of the original---! "T" is not typically ever "mispronounced" as "k"...
Do you think it's laziness at simply not listening to the ends of words, or an attempt at being "funny"...?

I am unaware of that pronunciation.
So I will probably hear it three times tomorrow!

I don’t think my friends shop in pajamas though I’m sure my Boston friends might pronounce it “Walmaht”.
The one I always noticed was the word "across" where they pronounce it "acrost". Super annoying once you hear it.

@SoftIceCream I imagine.

It could be that T is K in their language.. like how for many people J is Y..

It is often called Hell Mart here. I think it is because there are so many dimocrats that frequent the place.
