Needs to know Hebrew.

My grandfather pronounces it like that too. (Born in the late 1920s.)

He also pronounces “Chimney” as “Chimlee”.

Thank guys for explaining a joke that’s pretty much obscure to everyone that doesn’t live in the USA.
I was starting to feel dumb.

It’s how Wilford Brimley pronounces diabetes.

There was an actor called Wilford Brimley, who did ads promoting awareness of diabetes. He would pronounce it as “diabeetus”.

People thought it was funny so they use that misspelling instead.

Why do so many people spell “diabetes” like that?
It’s just bad grammar or is there something I’m missing?
