OK I'm one of those that has a problem with a number of words. I know how they're supposed to be pronounced but at times I mess up. My biggest one is Ambulance. I don't know why I pronounce it Ambleance. Then there's Tsunami. I Know how to pronounce it but at times I add the T. The list goes on. We laugh about it all the time. Husband is always correcting me. I'm glad he does it reminds me that I need to slow down and think about how I am saying words.

my BFF will get on to me for pronouncing the vidalia onion cuz she says the accent is on the dal instead of the vi. I don't correct her when she says idear for idea. I was raised in Detroit and she was raised in rural Georgia and it is amazing how different ways words are mis pronounced.Found an answer to your question?
