Words you mispronounced for ages
It's not exactly unusual to learn a word a certain way, and then realise you're the only person saying it with your very own special twist. Sometimes the new pronunciation makes so much more sense because it reminds you of what it stands for (like Old-timer's Disease instead of Alzheimer's Disease), and sometimes small changes become so common they become the standard pronunciation (the old word for Sushipunk's stalkees was bryd, not bird) - this thread is not about things whole communities do, because these otherwise normal processes are often seen as signs of ignorance... so I'd like to aks you to leave that out. What I want to know is: what words/expressions did you (and you only) blithely mispronounce until later in life?
In my case:- Until my late teens, I thought Darth Vader's name was "Dark Vader".
Your turn, go!
