Re: Words you pronounced wrong for a long time (or others do)
I had to learn Organic Chemistry from a book and when I took the class later I never went to class, until one day midsemester when I went and for someone reason decided to ask a question...
"Won't that form a tertiary car-bo-cay-tion?" rhyming with vacation
Prof said, "Do you mean carbocation?"
I said, "Yes, and that name makes a lot more sense now."
