79 Common Mispronunciations

Did he really say that jewelry is only two syllables? I found several pronunciation guides that say it has three. The real problem is that it's often mispronounced as joo-ler-y instead of jew-el-ry.

I am surprised "mischievous" wasn't mentioned.

I pronounce some words differently based on their context, such as caramel.
Examples
Twix have caramel, I think care-uh-mel
caramel apple, I think car-uh-mull (like a vehicle)
caramelize, similar car-mull-ize

Another word is Caribbean I either say Ca-rib-e-an or Cari-be-an depending on context

maybe I'm just weird

The worst pronunciation mistake aside from most of these, to me is Porsche. It's a car. EVERYONE in this country, at least, pronounces it wrong. People who own them., People who SELL them! Movie stars who drive them and encourage people to buy them. I've toured the factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany where they make them. It's a TWO syllable word. Yes, it is. por-SHA. Seriously. It's not PORSH. If you try saying it the right way, you'll even find it's easier to say than PORSH. Try it. Go ahead... por-SHA... That's right... But like the guy in the video said, it's one of those words that's SO widely mispronounced, people will look at you funny if you try to correct it. If ignorance is bliss, then Americans are some of the happiest folks on Earth...

Conversely, you can easily spot someone who learned words and expressions by hearing them spoken, by their misspelling or misunderstanding of them.
"You reap what you sew", "All intensive purposes", etc.

"Pah-sta"? Nuh-uh. "Pasta", short "a". Trust me, I'm from Europe.

Yeah... and it IS "mowve" not "mawve" for "Mauve". The trouble here is that your video is American, and you guys don't know shit about how to pronounce words.

Given the theme, I'm surprised how sloppy/incomplete this one is. Some examples to add to the growing list: with nuclear, there is a second acceptable pronunciation, "nyoo-clear" (not to be confused with "nu-kyoo-ler," which is never correct). "Comf-ter-bul" is an accepted pronunciation, and another common mispronunciation (I'd wager more common than "pen") for penne is "penny." Often combined with the word "pasta," i.e. "penny pasta." Also, a couple musical sour notes: you left out the greatest drummer in the world, Neil Peart (PEE-rt, not PERT). And it's "Gotye," not "Goyte."
