There's pronunciation of a couple words that drive me nuts.
But two rise to the top frequently.
Cache is pronounced the same as cash. It is not said the same way as cachet.
Cyclic is pronounced sigh-click. It is not pronounced sick-lick.
The mispronunciation comes from bicycle and the occasional motorcycle being bye-sickle and motor-sickle.
In the case of bikes, that's slang.
Even worse, the origin of saying cyclic wrong comes from a movie.
The Jackal with Bruce Willis.
Richard Gere's horrible fake Irish accent and improvising saying some words differently to underscore his Irishness is how we got here.
Do you want to emulate a dancing monkey?
