Whatever:
Is Miami, Oklahoma pronounced the same as Miami, Florida?

It’s regional and most of those words we don’t know how to pronounce “ain’t” really used much.

Forehead, Worcester and Boatswain are.

Aunt=(ant/awnt)

So that would mean a boson is a particle in charge of equipment...

My personal peeves:

Restaurateur - folks, there is no N in that word.

Conversated - just plain pretentious and wrong

Commentated - another in the same vein

Applicable - making it a four syllable tongue twister

Let’s not forget “corps”, a word Mr. Obama could not pronounce.

“Worchester.” But look up: there’s no h. It’s a mean trick,”

Yea like the “a” Boehner. It’s really pronounced Boner, as in
ignorant, compromised, bonehead, or “bonned” if you prefer.

One of the most difficult things I’ve tried to do was teach a young foreign lady to read English. An example: she wanted to pronounce “phone” as “pa hon ee”.

Chick lit favorite Francis Parkinson Keyes wrote smut-free romance novels back in the 20th c. Her surname Keyes rhymed with “size.” Nobody remembers that either. :(

Here in NYC, if you pronounce "Houston" Street like the city in Texas, you are looked upon with scorn.

It's "How-ston" Street.

Not vittle, wittles as in wittles is up.

My peeve...Often pronounced off-TEN.

Did we forget how to pronounce them, or did society accept mispronouncing them then when they were in larger use? English’s rules of pronunciation may be loose, but they still exist, and those “incorrect” pronunciations follow the rules.

It’s nu-cle-ar weapon not nu-cler weapon

Cirencester.....is that the one in Gloucestershire? :)

This is a pretty good list, if you axe me.

February. There is an “r,” and it’s not silent.

Years ago, when I lived in Denver, I noticed the new TV news guy in town always seemed to get to do a story set in either Saguache or Ouray, CO.
It was almost like an initiation for the new guy in town.
Funny thing, one story was all it took. For most.

I thought that in today’s vernacular “forehead” had become “fohaid.”

I had an amusing time trying to get directions to Hertford Street when I first arrived in London (at Victoria Station which is a short walk from Hertford Street).
