That's How You Say That?

I have long pronounced "epitome" as Epee-Tome.

It's supposed to be e-pit-oh-me.

I am unsure if I never learned to say it, or if I affected the mispronunciation deliberately.

    I mispronounce words like that all the time just to be a smart ass. Epitome is just one of them. My favorite is to ask the little girl behind the counter at Subway to put "Juh-lap-ah-nose" on my sub.

    Don't feel bad. I used to think "misled" was pronounced "misel-ed."
