After nearly two and a half decades of mispronouncing it, I recently learned that Tom Delonge pronounces his last name as “De-long”, not “De-lonj.” Not going to correct myself going forward though.

Con-trov-ersy is the maddest way of saying it. Hard v sound doesn’t belong in there!

I have no consistency and will pronounce all of these words depending on how I feel in the moment.

Tbf, it should rhyme with lozenge. That’s on Tom.

A loose canon!

Sometimes I change how I pronounce things depending on where they are in a sentence as far as what sounds are around them. This doesn’t make a lot of sense written down but hey.

Good question. The answer is: all the food words. I don’t watch Saturday Kitchen and I didn’t grow up knowing much about different foods. Turmeric? Ras al Hanout? Not a clue

Also, Sufjan. It’s taken the introduction of an Echo Dot in my life for me to stop calling him suff-jan

It’s not on quite the same scale but I get very anxious about pronouncing “croissant” after I had a horrible friend go on about it being “kwah-son” instead of “cross-ant”.
