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

[spamuell]

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.

Gnocchi (no-key) - thought it was no-chee; this might fall under the catagory of rio grand vs rio gran-day, but there is no real way to englishize gnocchi. also, if no-key is wrong, someone elighten me, since i just learned this.

edit: wikipedia confirms boro and eld are right, i was missing the NYO...

Once I was reading a resume, and came across 'apolipoprotein.'

me: a - polly - pop - ritene

It's more obvious how to say it if you work backwards. Damnit.

"real-a-tor" is the one that I hear all the time, and it drives me crazy.
