I used to say "Coal-Burt" instead of "Coal-bear" for Stephen Colbert.

And used to say "cap-ill-uh-rees" instead of the correct way of saying capillaries.

Reading the Harry Potter books Snape was always 'Snap' in my head for some reason.
Then I watched the movies and was like ohhhhh.

I always knew how to pronounce the word "meme", because I understand basic English phonetics.

However, the word "aforementioned" is awkward and stupid as fuck, and I always stumble over it for some reason. I think it's because I always wanna put primary stress on the first syllable rather than the second, even though that's wrong.

I pronounce "execrable" incorrectly on purpose, because the proper way to say it sounds stupid, too. Once again, primary stress is on the first syllable (like in the word "execute"), even though it sounds better if you stress the second syllable (like in executive).

When I was first using the Internet, I pronounced "profile" like "prawfile" (in the same way that some people say "prawcess" instead of "process"). Then a couple people started making fun of me for it, and I stopped.

That's all I can think of right now.

Doing that doesn't really help illustrate how you used to say it, though. You gotta italicize or capitalize the syllables that you're stressing. Just saying.

I think he means like "Bozer".

That's akin to pronouncing Mario like "Mayrio".

That's actually how you really say his last name.

If they wanted us to pronounce it Zeh-lot, they should have spelt it Zelot.

What do you mean?

I mean the name is pronounced bow-zur, bow as in 'take a bow'. I'm confused by what pronunciation your post implies.



Also OT: I used to pronounce Hermione as 'Hermoin'. I guess I just misread it. It's such a bizarre name.

If only you understood basic English phonetics.

Then you could have pronounced them correctly

I'm not sure  about words that I pronounce differently, but my friend used to think cyan was pronounced as cayenne.

Never mind, I also used to pronounce zealot like Jono did.

Except those aren't examples of basic phonetics.
