Default Re: Words you pronounced wrong for a long time (or others do)

I don't know if this is going to work if you don't have a London accent, but I pronounce "rant" as if it rhymes with "can't" rather than with "pant". Everyone I know tells me this is wrong but I refuse to accept their views. It's quite good at stopping any argument though, I just say "look you don't need to rant about it" and the conversation immediately turns away from the heated discussed and towards making fun of me.
