[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mischievous - I pronounced wrong for years until someone pointed it out. I have since heard several famous people like Julia Roberts pronounce it wrong as well...made me feel a little better.[/quote]

No there are multiple, acceptable, explanations.

Nope. I remember an elementary school teacher specifically mentioning your second version as wrong. There's nothing in the third syllable to add the EEE sound but it's a common error. Your first example is just weird and I have never heard it pronounced that way.

I was at the library yesterday and wanted to ask where to find John Le Carre (not in mystery section, not in fiction, how they they have zero Le Carre books???) but to be save I looked up the pronunciation on my phone because I've never known what it is.

But it's BI opic and not bi OP ic? I had no idea! So, like biomom? I think the other way sounds better.

I mean, who cares what one random dumb elementary (!) teacher in America says about how you pronounce a word?

How do you pronounce the word thieves?[/quote]
