Some girls are bigger than others.

Faux. I don't care what society says, there's an x in it, therefore it should rhyme with fox.

Ebony as E-Bunny

When I was little, I used to pronounce "Chihuahua" as "Chi-who-a-who-a".
I missed the accent mark in Michael Bublé's name, and the first time I ended up saying his name aloud, it was "Michael Bubble". I still tend to think of him as Michael Bubble because it's kind of funny to me.
@Odd: Damn, I've been pronouncing awry wrong all this time

It's French, you know how weird the French are with their x's.
Also I thought Nietzsche was "Nightzitch" for a long time.
I pronounced Voltaire as Volt-ah-eer for a long time. Nowadways I refer to Voltaire as Volt-ah-eer while the philosopher I refer to by the normal pronunciation
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
Just like they are with their t's? Because I pronounced "depot" wrong for a long time too!
One of my high school friends pointed out an "Office Dee-Pot" (rhymes with teapot) once just to be funny, and even though I knew how to pronounce "Depot", I found myself saying "Dee-pot" for years.
Clandestine is not pronounced "clan-des-tine". I just learned this a few months ago and I'm almost 25. I blame my vocabulary teacher in seventh grade, who taught us the word and pronounced it that way.
How dare you disrupt the sanctity of my soliloquy?
"Minstrel" as "Ministrel." It took me ages to notice there was no second I in there.
Uniocular
x2 What? Yes it is. How else would you pronounce it?
Bloody Fossil
I think the point is that the stress isn't on the first syllable.

I used to struggle on compound words because I could never "see" the two words making them up. I remember a Calvin & Hobbes strip with "pincushion" in it, and I read it as "pin-ic-u-sin" for years.
They're not quite mispronounciations, but I've said "nucular" and "diabeetus" long before George W. Bush and Wilford Brimley made those pronuncuations popular. (Also, "Nucular Diabeetus" would be A Good Name for a Rock Band.)
I said "girled cheese" instead of "grilled cheese" until I was about 8.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

My sister used to pronounce "character" as "carroter."

Mine still pronounces the name "Jeremy" as "Juremy". I've heard at least one other person do that, so maybe it's not just her.
She also used to pronounce Monk so that it rhymed with "honk" and not "punk" for a long time. And she was at least 10 at the time.

For a while I called Reese's Peanut Butter Cups "Reesie's".
It seems like that's the accepted pronunciation where I live, which is odd given that it makes very little phonetic sense. Either way, I say it right now.
Also, before the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies came out I pronounced the first part of Rowley's name like "row-row-row your boat" and not "we're having a row". That one I still don't really understand but I roll with it nonetheless.
oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘

I thought the same thing about Reese's.

I still pronounce it like Honk, and I'm nearly 23. I guess it's probably the same reason as my mispronouncing Chihuahua; it looks like that's how it's pronounced.
