Hey Pandas, What Are Some Words You Used To Mispronounce Drastically? (Closed)

Epitome.
There are more, but I can't remember.

Spaghetti.. used to say it has SpagHetti

Technically a name, but I used to think Neil was pronounced Nellie.

Fjord... still can't pronounce correctly...

I had a relative who pronounced "harrassed" wrong. He said "Hair-assed". I never corrected him (old southern respect for elders), but I laughed inwardly for the first 5,000 times he used his version. He is gone now so I could use his name but I still respect him too much.

up until this year i’d pronounce bourgeoisie as burg-u-eezie. until my best friend laughed at me and told me the correct pronunciation

'Gnu'
Pronounced: 'New'

Thanks a lot, Gary GUHnu.

To my widdle child ears, ridiculous was pronounced 'rididiickleulus'

Particularly. I have to say it a million times to get it right.

For the longest time I used to pronounce Thomas with the Th sound you would find in words like Thorn. I only recently stopped when one of my friends corrected me. They tease me about it a lot tho

This probably isnt that bad but I thought "fingers" was pronounced "thingers" when I was around 6 or 7. My older sister finally caught be and told me there was no "th" in finger/s.
