Recycled topic from Reddit.

Spoiler:
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.

"definately" or "defiantly" instead of definitely.

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