[up][up]Same here.

I just learned that Steve Blum's surname is pronounced like "bloom," and does not rhyme with "plum" like I thought.

He's such an adorable little menace. Even his damage sound is cute. "Pooks!"

I'm still unclear whether the word "pileated" is pronounced "Pill-e-ated" or "Pile-e-ated"

[up]I don't know, but I would guess "pill-e-ated."


When I first saw the name "Ignatius," I thought it was pronounced "ig-NATT-ee-us." I know the right pronunciation now.

I always pronounced "archive" with a "ch" sound instead of a "k"sound.

Another perfect landing.

My siblings and I used to pronounce ASDF Movie by saying the first four letters individually (A-S-D-F-moo-vee) rather than as one word (ass-duff-moo-vee.)

I thought "thylacine"note  was pronounced "thy-la-keen" for way longer than I care to admit. It's pronounced "thy-la-sine".

According to this clip (RIP Gilbert Gottfried), Mr. Mxyzptlk's name is pronounced like "mix yes spit lick."

I used to think it was pronounced like "mixy zip tilk."

Until this year, I thought "epitome" was pronounced "epee-tome" instead of "eh-pit-oh-mee".

I am also one of those people who thought "awry" was pronounced "aw ree" instead of "a rie".

Are we human, or are we dancer?

I thought the name Rhys (pronounced Reese) was pronounced as either "rise" or "rice" for quite a while. Only learned the truth last year.
