My kid pronounced bishop as bis-hop. Union and onion were pronounced the same, as in the con-fa-dercy fought the onion.

To be fair, out of "onion", "anion", and "union", only one of them looks like it absolutely should not be pronounced onion and that's the one that means onion.

The difference between a plumber and a physicist is how they pronounce unionized.
