| Recycled topic from Reddit. - Spoiler:
Common answers include:
axe (ask)
pacific (specific)
intensive purposes (intents and purposes)
expresso (espresso)
lie-berry (library)
nukular (nuclear)
could care less (couldn't care less)
labtop (laptop)
ass-trick(s)/asterix (asterisk)
ecksetera (et cetera)
marshmellow/Danny Hynam: mershmeller (marshmallow)
rowt (route)
could/should/would of (have)
sherbert (sherbet)
erb (herb)
turrent (turret)
ant-eye (anti-)
Eye-rack (Iraq)
Eye-ran (Iran)
Eye-talian (Italy) - funnily, I've never heard someone say eye-tally
More lenient answers as these are names that aren't countries:
Ex-eye/kuh-see/she/kuhs-eye/ shitloads more (Xi)
Lay-sess-ter-shy-er (Leicestershire)
Illinois & Arkansas with the S
The pronunciation that annoys me the most is may-lay (mêlée).Also, the same word pronounced me-lee, muh-lee Please be aware that some of these are correct, they are just annoying to some people. |

| Pretty much when people extend the vowel sound.
So:
A becomes Er
E becomes Er
I becomes Er
O becomes Er
U becomes Er
Er hert that.

| "nucular"(like George Bush) instead of "nuclear" and "axe" instead of "ask" are the worst for me. |
