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

[ QUOTE ]
This reminds me of a teacher I had in high school. The woman seriously could not read words longer than two syllables, and she would just butcher normal, everyday words. She pronounced "agricultural" as "algercutcheral." She pronouned "Ishmael" as "Israel." And she pronounced (I swear on my mother's eyes that I am not making this up) "Knossos" as "Crete." It was not a slip of the tongue, either; she did id multiple times over multiple days.

She might have been dslyxiec.
