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

Today in a business meeting someone used the word hyperbole in describing some situation. Except that he pronounced it "hyper-bowl."

This is funny. None of my friends can pronounce my last name, and said properly it rhymes with hyperbole. I guess that makes sense since my last name is also a common Latin word.
