HOWEVER - This is literally the only word that I struggle with. When I am with friends and family, I just say "axe" because they know me. But when I am in a professional environment or talking to new people, I have to think of the correct pronunciation before saying it. Sometimes it looks like I am having a stroke because there is typically a small pause so that I can correctly pronounce it. I literally can't help it.
There are more than a handful of people who have this issue with certain words. Nuke-cue-ler instead of nuclear is another word that tripped up a former President repeatedly for example and that mofo was a Yalee.
