Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I have to say it, one of my pet peeves is pronouncing "cavalry" as "calvary." The former refers to horse mounted scouts. The latter is the place Jesus was crucified. They are not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote Cavarly Baptist Church. The secretary informed me of my mistake! Whoops!! So I learned that it's Calvary!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
