re: What are some of the weirdest pronunciations that you’ve heard for common words?

if anyone has ever watched MasterChef on FOX. I hate the way Gordon Ramsey pronounces taco.

tack-co

then Aaron Sanchez, another judge, pronounces it in a very heavy Mexican accent. So you end up with the 3 judges all pronouncing a 4 letter word completely differently

Instead of processes, black folks love saying process-cees

worked with a black guy at a dealership many years ago who could pronounce:

distributor : discribiter
speedometer: speedo-mometer-meter
spark plugs: smart plugs

People who say Hatt-iss-burg or di-a-beat-iss

My dear old grandmother when speaking about varicose veins called them "very coarse" or "very course" veins. Of course she was born in 1880 so I gave her a pass.........or she would have whipped my arse. Firm believer in sparing the rod spoiled the child. But we loved her more than anything. She's fight a bear for us, or whip your arse if you did anything to harm one of hers.

A certain demographic says “Kron” instead of “Crayon”
many people say Calvary when they mean Cavalry, and vice-versa.

Ruin

is not in any way shape or form pronounced ruhrn

Has anyone said Iowa, or as they say down in Louisiana "I-oh-way"?

Struggling: strug-gling, not strugg-a-ling.

Don't get me started on the the Olive Gar Den chick.
