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

Mine:
- Viscount (mentioned earlier, thought it was pronounced like "discount" until I was about 20)
- Decapitate (pronounced it "decapulate" until early-mid teens)
- Someone else mentioned bass, I knew the difference between the fish and the instrument, but I always pronounced the baseball player Kevin Bass' name like the instrument.
