Biopic. I still have to slow down and make sure to pronounce it bio-pic instead of bi-ah-pic (like you would pronounce bionic).
"Gif" is another one. I used to be an idiot and think it was pronounced with a hard "g", but now I'm enlightened and understand it is pronounced like the peanut butter.

Good example, I do the same.

I still pronounce that as bi-op-ic, just like I would pronounce biography. I don't care that it's wrong... plus I hardly ever say the word aloud, so no one else cares what it sounds like in my head.

It stands for Graphics Interchange Format...I don't understand how you would pronounce it "JIF". I would think that it should be pronounced with a hard "G", and that is how I will continue to pronounce it.
My trigger is HEPA. I always pronounce it HEE-PAH, while others pronounce it HEP-AH. I guess it depends on how you pronounce "Efficiency" as to which is correct.
