What is your most cringeworthy mispronunciation of a word that you've only ever seen written down? We've all done it at least once, especially as kids. I though it might make for a fun thread, so I'll start with some of mine.
Photographer
Pronounced with the empasis on the first syllable.
PHOtograph - er.
Automaton
Auto (like a car) MAY tawn.
The next one is courtesy of my brother when we were kids.
Baseline
BA suh line
Rhymes with Vaseline.
And this one is from my mother's childhood.
Episcopal
Epi (like in epidural) SCOPE ul.
Your turn.
