A black officer I worked with in Germany (certainly an officer and a gentleman) had a Master's Degree. He ALWAYS used the word "bidness" (as in "I'm a bidness man"), for business. It was the only word I ever heard him mispronounce. FWIW, it may have been a speech impediment. (He had a good sense of humor, and might have only been doing it for the laughs, but he never seemed to try to get it right).

There are certain words God meant to be mispronounced...like "finta."
