50 All Time Classic Mispronounced Words
This list of mispronounced words was obtained a little informally. I haven't surveyed a million English speakers or anything, for example. I've simply scoured the dictionary for words that I hear people mispronounce all the time, and put them together in a list. When I get a chance, I'll add a bit of commentary to the words, explaining how and why they tend to be mispronounced frequently. I'll also add some tips to help you remember how to pronounce them properly when you come across them in future. In the meantime, I'm afraid you'll just have to settle for the list...
