I remember when i was little. i'd always pronounce "pillow" as "pellow". i'm sure i've even spelled it like that a few times on assignments when i would write about stuff back in elementary school. tragic XD

I have to agree with the Pok?mon! I remember not being able to pronounce dratini when I was little but I can't remember how I used to pronounce it.

I pronouced dachshund as "dash-hound" nearly my entire life, but then I learnt a few months ago that it's pronounced "dox-hund". I was pretty embarrassed.

Not that this is in any way important, but dachshund is a German name and translates to "badger dog" - I'm guessing they were bred for hunting.

To contribute my own...there have been so many, I can't remember them all. I'll go with the most embarrassing:
Hermione pronounced as Hermi-1 *giggle*
I don't think I put too much thought into it; it's just how I read it

Well, this is more of an accent thing, but I've never really pronounced the 'T' in "mountain"

it's more like "moun'in" (i don't know how to explain it)

 

[michan]

So you're telling me it's NOT pronounced spare-mint?! O.O

It doesn't even make sense because I definitely saw that it was spelled "spear" - somehow I must have decided "spare-mint" sounded better >.<

I pronounced hypocrite like hype-o-crIte

 

[Squidward]

when I was much younger I'd pronounce "fashion" like "fay-shone" or something like that

the swedish word for therapist is "terapeut" but it is pronounced like "terapeft." i thought that terapeut and terapeft were two different words that meant kinda the same thing for a super long time ....
