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.

As a kid I read "Kerfuffle" and it instantly stuck in my head as "ker-FLUFF-fle" .....which is so much more fun to say than ker-FUF-fle.
Uhh, it has always been kerfluffle for me. I didn't know it was anything but. D'oh!

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.

I do love this CLICK

Do you have a rare item that just won't sell? Are you going through the high levels of Item Hunt? Or maybe you just HATE that blue bunny? Then you should join IHH helpers and IHH bargain in the forum groups!

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.

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.

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.

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

Syringe is my biggest one right now, since we say it all the time at work! I always say "SEER-inj" and have to correct myself every time.
