What's the most annoying mispronunciation you've heard?

[Sayyouwill]

Mine has to be pacific instead of specific

Collaboration instead calibration

I'm with you on "vahlent", though I've only heard it here in Melbourne, by people in Brighton trying to be posh: Brahton, instead of Brighton.

Actually, they say Brighton oddly here, too: BrightON, but then it's how it's said by everyone.

The ones that bother me aren't necessarily wrong but just stick out to me:

Medsen instead of medicine.

Pul-moan-ary instead of pol-mon-erry (Polmonary)

Carouselfish Where are you from? I'm a Midlander too and I pronounce it 'says'. My parents used to correct me when I was younger and said 'sez' sounded common!

DH says "obstropolous" for obstreperous.

MissSingerbrains I don't count "jai" as a mispronunciation.

My dad says 'greazy' instead of 'greasy' (with a hard 's'). It drives me nuts.

resurrection = "Reece urh ecktion"(Not sure what the Reece part is about?!)

@randomsabreuse my mum is italian and she pronounces pizza as pitza !!

I don’t like ‘becoss’ for ‘because’ but I do recognise it’s a regional thing. Northerners, you are guilty!

I watched a video of an american guy making calzone and he kept calling it "ri-coata" (ricotta) and cal-zone (as in "zoned out, one syllable). Wanted to cry

"AmaZON*

That is the American pronunciation. So many of the examples on this thread are regional variations or matters of accent, not mispronunciations.

I used to know someone who insisted on pronouncing whisky as something that sounded like a cross between whea-key and wickky.
Absolutely no s sound involved.

I wouldn't even be able to guess how to spell it so it sounds as cringeworthy as it is.

I can feel my shoulders pulling closer together just remembering that.

New one
Expect = eshpeck

Not a mispronunciation because he's still learning to talk, but my 2 year says Wudder-Hye. Take a guess at what that Is!

mis-chee-vee-ous instead of mischievous
