I mispronounce a bunch of words because I have auditory processing disorder and because of my Philadelphia accent. The one that immediately comes to mind is crayon. I pronounce it as crown.
i misspronounce beach with.... well i think you get the joke
Melancholy was one I'd only ever read and heard pronounced by a German metal band, ha! Mel-ankh-o-leigh is how I'd pronounced it in my head, but...it's really melon collie. English is so strange.

My mom's from Philly and I managed to avoid having the accent in anything I say except for the word 'bagel.'
Honestly, I don't hear the difference between what I say and what other people say, but everyone tells me I pronounce it strangely?
I know. It's so persnickety! And yet, it has the most wonderful words and variations there of. You can create all the colors of your mind with them...splashing them over the page so your reader can share your vision, much like the painter with his tints tones and shades.

My worst ones have been "mage" -- which I pronounced as "meh-ge" and "Hork-Bajir" from Animorphs which I pronounced "hork-blair" because I literally couldn't wrap my head around it.
I cant pronounce schedule for the life of me.

People call me out all the time on how I pronounce debacle (deh-buh-cull) and cache (cash-shay).
Friend called me out on Nevada.
I say "Nah-vaah-dah" with heavy emphasis on the middle bit. He informed me it's "Neh-va-dah" with a shorter "va" in the middle.

Tendency to say comf-ter-ble instead of com-for-ta-ble

Grumpy Cat is my spirit animal.
If I'm not thinking about it, I'll often mispronounce "for" as "fer" sometimes "fir" if I'm talking too fast but still trying to be mindful of it. I'll almost always correct myself immediately after. The most annoying part, is that it didn't show up until probably my junior year of high school.
Besides that, there are words I occasionally mess up, but because I had a speech impediment as a child and had to take classes for it, I always try to have perfect pronunciation and am quick to fix it if someone respectfully corrects me.

Any sort of word preceded or followed by "wrong", no idea why, I have no problem pronouncing most other words, have no stutter or lisp, I just talk too fast sometimes.
For example: "Wrong Ray" "You'we/Sher's/Hew's Wrong" "Wrong or Wight"

Bagel = baggle
I have a good friend from New York with a very thick New Yorker accent, and it drives him absolutely mad whenever I say bagel. "It's BAY-gul! BAY-gul!"
... It's baggle.
lattice
I always pronounce it as la-tice instead of latt-is
There is a small town in IA named "Nevada" ...except heaven help you if you say "Neh-va-dah" ...everyone in the joint will turn and chorus, practically in sync "It's 'neh-vay-dah'" .......so, yeah, really, y'all just can't be happy with the usual pronounciation. Neh-vay-dah it is. ....it's actually a little creepy to witness. Very stepford wives. XD
