[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a reader more than a talker, I grew up mispronouncing several common words based on their phonetic spelling. Misled (MYzled), Infrared (InFRAIRed), etc.[/quote] I proudly stood up to do a book report in 8th grade, and pronounced a quote with the word chaos as "chah- oss" and the teacher laughed and called me out. I also had only ever read the word sonofabitch, and didn't really know it was 3 words ... So I got really angry at my cousin at a family reunion and yelled YOU SAH-NOFFFFA-BITCH! I had no clue it was son- of - a - bitch.[/quote] I read out loud the word peninsula as, "pen-iss-SWAY-la" thinking it was a foreign country...maybe Venezuela? My social studies class laughed.
