Didn’t know awry wasn’t “aww-ree” until I was in my 20s.

Not my story, but a high school classmate of my husband’s missed a question on a standardized test and apparently asked the group, what’s a “plaiz-boo?” Placebo.

They had some great songs in the aughts

there was a time in my life a long time ago where I read, out loud, facetious as "face-uh-tee-us"?

When I was a little kid I thought "morgue" was pronounced "morgoo" because I thought "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was supposed to rhyme at the end

that is incredible. and a little adorable.

When you die from squirrel-vector Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, you get sent to the burgoo morgue

That's actually better & way more fun to say

LOL

My cousin thought it was MY-zuld. Which somehow sounds right when you say it: You MY-zuld me!

I read @juddlegum.bsky.social as juddle gum for like a year on Twitter. Thought it was a quirky handle, nothing more.

I can’t unsee it

Mispronounced "anxiety" for years because I was trying to make it fit somehow with the same sounds as "anxious"

I can’t remember (read: probably repressing) any of mine right now but a college roommate of mine said “epih-TOME” for the word epitome.

I mean micro-TOME is correct so understandable.
