Offen Mistpronounced Werds

Now, I'm all one for mangling the English language in jest, but when people mispronounce words out of ignorance, it just gets under my skin. Here is a list of my top 10 hated word pronunciations.

1. EXpresso - Espresso
2. EXpecially - Especially
3. WaRsh - Wash
4. Urbs - Herbs
5. AcrosT - Across
6. FebUary - February
7. LiBary - Library
8. MaNnaise - Mayonnaise
9. NucUlar - Nuclear
10. SherbeRt - Sherbet
