I've hosed up a lot of pronunciation in my life cause I read like a bastard and always volunteered to read out loud cause I was weird like that. Most memorable gently caress up I remember wasn't me though, was a friend in middle school who said thermometer as thermo meter.

We made fun of him for a while about it, "how fast does that speedo meter say we're going again?".

Aw, I like this one though. And "Microwave" a la Nigella Lawson.

And one time, to be a dork, I pronounced "mage" as if the g were in Dutch. My gf was not amused. But I was.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.
For me it was thinking MacLeod was pronounced MacLeod

Fun fact, knowing what a word means and how it's spelled but not knowing how to pronounce it is called Colliope Syndrome.

Hey I googled "Colliope" and it showed me this and I am for sure not happy about it

My corollary to this is that I shall feel free to make fun of people who use the wrong colloquial phrase due to only having heard it and never read it, like "all the sudden" instead of "all of a sudden"

The show was originally aimed at kids but since a bunch of adults griped about it not being like the cartoon they remember, the show runners have basically been trolling said adults non-stop.

Well of course. That show does that a lot. Here we see Cyborg beating his meat. And if you're still skeptical about the intent, his shirt says "Food Pun"

And then has a post credits scene with the original TT animation implying that those characters are trapped someplace and need help
