Sammich? That's jarring. Granted I have heard it "sa-meech" a time a or two. I guess it's one of those things like "veggie" that are common but jarringly wrong to me. Sandwich. Vegetables (whether 'vej-e-tah-bles' or 'vej-tehbles). Perfectly good words. Maybe it's that 'veggies' and 'sammich' sound too much like how some folks saccharine talk to the very young that I don't much care for them.
