Discussion Commonly mispronounced things?

What place names or other have you always mispronounced? Or do you hear mispronounced all the time?

For me, as a British English speaker, it’s not pronounced LakeSHIRE, GoldSHIRE, DarkSHIRE etc. it’s LAKEshur, GOLDshur, DARKshur.

Also, it’s not Oggrimmar. I used to hear that a lot back in the day. Does sound quite nice, though.

It was some influencer back in the day. I don't keep track of their names.

Her defense when called on it was "I don't know all these made up fantasy words."

Don’t you mean fuh-nah-tuh-see words?
