Okay, so long as we’re talking about pronunciations;

It makes my eyes bleed when I hear people pronounce the word “jewelry” as (ju’-ler-e) and “realtor” as (rel’-la-tor).

It’s (jul’-re) and (rel’-ter).

Just read the words. It’s pretty simple.

You mean it’s not “re’-ul-ter”?

How about calling a guy who takes pictures a fur-tographer.

No one ever calls his product a fur-tograph.
