One of my local groups even had a discussion about how it was
supposed to be pronounced. We had four or five different ways and
none of them were the way it is in the movie!
We also know that people who read a lot often mispronounce words they
have only read and never heard. My girls would get annoyed if we
corrected them, until I told them about when I was about 9 and read
the word bungalow. My mom asked what I was reading and I said, "The
Bungalow Mystery". I put the g and l with the a and stressed the
middle sylable. Like this: bun-GAL-o
So now whenever I correct the girl's pronunciation, they say bun-GAL-o
out loud and remember that everyone needs a little help sometimes.
DH's word is coincide. He says it as if he is doing bad things to
quarters, nichels and dimes. Coin-i-cide

My dh also has trouble with words where you basically have to remember the
pronuncition because you'd never guess it from the letters--like
Worcestershire sauce.
