> Heh. And while we're on the topic of mispronunciations, I'll mention some of the common ones that annoy me: "supposably", rather than "supposedly"; syllables inserted where there aren't even any letters, such as "ath-a-lete", "aer-e-ate", and "real-a-tor"; and, of course, the infamous "nucular"...

The one that especially annoys me (as I believe I've mentioned before on the forum somewhere)is pronouncing "antarctica" as "anartica." :-P
