Hyper-bowl. (Hyperbole.) The wrong stresses in polysyllabic and diaspora. I'm pretty sure I still can't pronounce archipelago properly. And I'm not 100% on bedraggled, proffered, and a couple other ones 🙈🙈🙈 I literally don't talk much irl.

Pokémon did not help me one bit with how to pronounce "facade" correctly. *glares at Norman*

This! I was extremely unhappy about the mispronunciations in kids shows when my kids were littles.
