I imagine all of us have some word or another wrong. I love words and definitions and like to get them right. But learned a number of years ago I have been pronouncing album Al-Blum instead od Al-Bum. How did I get that wrong? There is no second L. At least yours was a mistake in a foreign word spelling.

My daughters best friend in high school was a straight A student and always had her nose in a book reading. One morning she was reading the contents on the back of the cereal box. She asked her Dad, "What is deg er med wheat? I've never heard of that. Her dad turned the cereal box read it and with as straight a face as he could, looked at her and said, "that word is degermed." We still have a good laugh over it.

My DD (who is a lawyer, so it's not like she's never been exposed to words before) doesn't mispronounce words (that's me... I say "pilluh" for "pillow" & get nothing but grief! I also say "may-shur" for "measure") but she gets "macrame" & "macabre" confused... it's pretty funny!

celtic and celtic - I did look it up in the dictionary - and it seems that both seltic and keltic are 'legitimate' ways to say the word

I have a friend who pronounces mammogram as mammy-o-gram!

When I was younger I pronounced "subtle" as "sub-tull". I learned the word from reading and didn't know it was the same word as "suttle" that I heard all the time! LOL

One thing I made sure my kids never did was to pronounce day as de when saying the days of the week. It's MonDAY not MonDee, and so forth.

I thought I was the only one. I was talking to my Mom about some app-liqe I was working on. My Mom was so confused about what I was doing. After I showed her she thought it was so funny! Applique not app-liqe.
