I pronounce veteran like Ve-trin. Apparently no one else does this.

Myself, although this is a usage thing. I used it wrongly until my first semester English class at LSU. Now it is one of the most grating things that I hear.
Also, climatic and climactic.

How has jew-le-ry not come up yet? So many people say this instead of the correct jew-el-ry.

The word hyperbole always messes with me. I know how to say it but when I read it, I see it as hyperbowl.

The two most grating that I hear are:
My-nez (Mayonnaise)
Pacific (Specific)
I'm not sure which is worse. My-nez isn't even a real word nor is it even phonetically close to the intended word...on the other hand Pacific definitely is a word, it's just an entirely different and unrelated word.
