Too many, English is my second language. I still don't know how to pronounce aesthetics lol.
And I thought it was deh-mon rather than dee-mon lol because we don't really pronounce "ae" as "ee" here as in the old daemon spelling. And things like "bullet", thought it was ball-ett rather than buh-llet lol
What.. I thought it was sub-tul or sub-tle lolol D:
Aand yeah screw those weird pronunciations.

Oh, and yeah "literally". Always thought it was "litt-eh-rally" rather than "litchrally" or whatever. But I have a tiny mouth so I can't really pronounce it either so lol...
I used to pronounce "Adobe Flash Player" as "Abode Flash Player".
"Nearby" was "Nerby"
"Sidle" was "Slide"(That's more of a dyslexia thing but still)
And a lot of other such words.
Apparently often is to be pronounced "offen" but that's something everyone does. I remember someone in High School trying to get everyone to say it correctly, it really bugged her, haha.
Otherwise I'm pretty good when it comes to pronunciation. I also say "jif"
The name Penelope. As a kid I could never remember how to say it.
I mess up pronunciation constantly but I don't think there is any consistency to which words I fail at. And it's not a lack of understanding of how to pronounce them as I correct myself immediately. I just seem to get tongue-tied and the wrong sound comes out. Probably due to how quickly I speak, but that's 'normal' in the west of Scotland.
I used to pronounce words with 'th' as 'f' which is pretty common. My private school offered a very simple and easy speech therapy type thing where we played board games and the educational assistant would basically make me and one other girl repeat words that we weren't pronouncing right, but she'd show us how to do it properly. It was super fun at the time.
