What words do you find people consistently mispronounce?

Asked by jca (36062points) May 2nd, 2016

Two I can think of are “lackadaisical.” Many people pronounce it “lax-a-daisical.” There’s lax, and there’s lackadaisical, but there’s not “laxadaisical.”

Another is “mischievous.” I find many people say “mis-chee-vee-ous.”
