Have you ever heard a person confidently mispronouncing a word? Did it amuse you as much as it does me? 
I think one of the funniest things in the world is when a person is sure they are pronouncing a word correctly but are not. I know that it has happened to me before and I was pretty embarrassed about it
So I'll just tell on on me first.
I did not realize that the word 'adamant' was stressed like 'ad-uh-muhnt' when I was a kid and was nearly thirteen before one of my friends finally told me that it wasn't pronounced aDAMant
I had only ever read it and never heard it said. 
Once I remember a preacher I knew saying the word 'architect' but instead of the 'k' sound he was saying 'ch' . . . his wife tried to correct him mid-sermon and he responded by saying, '*wife's name*, I looked it up before church it is pronounced arch-ee-teck'

Every heard someone goof a pronunciation? If not, just lie.
