Just saw this online:

tri-quarter, where the poster clearly meant tricorder.

I had a friend in school who insisted that the song Vienna
Calling was The Anaconda. That's how he heard it.

Makes you wonder how many things you think you know
correctly might just be wrong, and funny too!

I was mispronouncing 'epithet' until my late 40s (not that it's a word I
used all the time, lol). I was saying 'epiphet'
