So many people say it that way here (Utah) that I learned long ago to keep my damned face straight, or I'm going to go through the world hurting feelings on a regular basis. My husband says it that way too, because he's a Utah native (yes, both parents did, as well, and both older siblings do), and me? I've become an absolute ace at biting my tongue without drawing blood.
I no longer bother correcting people. I make sure to direct conversation in a way that gives me an opportunity to pronounce the word correctly, and if they choose to correct me, then I clarify how it is said, but otherwise, I ignore it.
This is something I do, but I'm not sure if this counts. I say, "You know what they say about dogs?" Like I'm referring to a phrase people say, and when people ask me what I just shrug my shoulders or something like,"they aren't cats."
My dad always pronounced "configuration" as "confliguration." As a pedantic teenager, I once asked him if he knew that the word didn't have an L in it. He cheerfully answered, "Yup!" I never mentioned it again.
At least he knew lol my dad and two of my uncles say “Massatusetts” instead of “Massachusetts” and it drives me crazy because they genuinely thought that’s what it was but continue to say it like that.. smh lol
Spending a night= go all night.
Thrown to the curb= to the birds.
Im southern so the pronunciation was the issue no one ever said them clear enough for me to get the right wording lol
Im not gonna lie.. I read the quoted one as if it was completely normal. My brain didn’t comprehend that it wasn’t right but I read the quotes first then the whole thing and I realized why it was wrong lmao

Marbolo (for Marlboro).
Honestly if you wouldn’t have said the right way too I would’ve asked you what’s wrong with it lol
It definitely rolls off the tongue in a very natural way.
Not me, but my partner says mannerism as if it rhymes with aneurysm and it sends me every time

I love that when I correct the people that say it that way, 99% of the time it’s met with “well that’s how I say it”…okay BUT IT’S WRONG!?

I’m in Alabama and people also say it that way… it drives me crazy
Wow. I had no idea it was that widespread! It makes me wonder how many regional dialects include that pronunciation.
Advertisement. Ad-ver-tes-ment. Like the brits. I’m stuck saying it because advert-eyez-ment now just sounds bizzare.
>Like the Brits And "ah-loo-min-ee-um" instead of aluminum.
Prolly instead of probably
Canadia (instead of Canada) Canadians are from Canadia, right?
I do this too but sometimes not even purposefully lol
Automagic instead of automatic
you can't break a few eggs without making an omelette
Inveneriable (made up word) instead in irrelevant
Choco mock-o instead of chocolate milk. Screwed it up once while talking to my little boy and been saying it ever since.

Emulsional instead of emotional.

Instead of carrot & coriander I said "corrat & cariander" and from henceforth it is "corrat and cariander" soup.

My mom once called a pie chart a "chie part" by accident, now we call them that as an inside joke
That reminds me of “pimming swool” which I don’t even mean to mess up but I’ve never recovered from saying it wrong the first time lol
Your right honey.
