A lot of people purposely pronounce words wrong. Some well known examples:Internets (thanks to George W. Bush)
Occifer (instead of officer)
Computor (instead of computer)
Aminal (instead of animal)
Muskles (instead of muscles)
I don't know if these are peculiar to our household, but Darlene and I have a few:
Telebision (instead of television)
Bass (instead of bath)
Beeb (instead of breeze)
Pinney-appl-ee (instead of pineapple)
What words do you pronounce wrong on purpose?

We do "foilage" instead of "foliage", and when I say we, the husband only complies because I am impossible to correct and it makes him laugh.
Also "kitteh" instead of "kitty". Pretty common one I think.
We used to work at an office next to a performing arts center. So we started saying "perforaaaahhhhnnnce" instead of "performance"
I'd like to reserve the right to repond to this email when I can actually think of those special words that we use. Neither one of us can think of any right now. Must be jet lag, or the need to find another 'where is it'?
