more radio language nonsense

I heard the commercial on the radio last night that had the other inexcusably mispronounced word that was making me crazy a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't remember.  I am in a position now, however, to alert the news guy that there is no word in English that is correctly pronounced infastructure.

Also, gift has a T in it.

My pet peeve, which gets excercised all the time, poor thing, is "heighth".

THERE IS NO 'H' AT THE END OF 'HEIGHT'!!!

*ahem*

Thank you for letting me vent.
