I like to hear how different people say different things. I had a professor in college who said "advertisements" (ad-ver-tize-mints lol) as "advert-is-mints". Never heard it that way, but I think Judge Judy says it that way too.

Another one is "Appalachian". It's app-uh-latch-in, people. Not "app-uh-lay-shun".

Any other words that you may say differently?

I had a boss that always said "warsh" instead of "wash". Drove me crazy. lol

My dh says "snuzed" (Past tense of "sneeze"). We get in an argument all the time over that one. lol

Milk. meal, mail, pale, sale, jail, rail, hail, fail...well you get  the picture. 

are all words I can't say right. I was deaf for 2 yrs when I was around 6. I didn't get certain tones back. I swear for the life of me I'm saying it like everyone else, but nope. DH and all the kids make fun of me. :(

DH can't say Wolf. He barks like a dog. He can't say stolen...he says stoden.

Oh, and DH and his dad say ORtopsy instead of autopsy. His dad was a cop! LOL.

I used to say "aesthetic" as ay-es-thetic because a HS teacher said it that way.
