Pry, not probaly. Who raised you?!? 😁
Jew-la-ree instead of jewelry bugs me, no reason.
Chimbley instead of chimney — we were warned about that one in fifth grade by our teacher (she started out in one-room schools btw) — but I’ve only heard that used once, also during the school years, by a classmate. In my late 20th century career, I heard a mispronounciation of “chimbley”, which was “chimley”. And I’m pretty sure that old woman wasn’t an aficianado of kung fu movies.
“Very unique”, “quite unique”, but that’s not about pronounciation or spelling.
My brother’s Father in Law said “Chimbley.” Never heard anyone before or after say it that way. The others in our family thought it was hilarious... well, only when he wasn’t around.
I was going to say that one, too!
“Very unique”, “quite unique”, but that’s not about pronounciation or spelling.
Mine is "usually always."

What about all the important people who could really do something dangerous who say nucular. Don’t they know there is clear in nuclear?
