The word Especially
I pronounce the word- es-spesh-ally. It drives me INSANE, when people pronounce it eck-spesh-ally.
Am I crazy? There is no 'k' sound in that word, is there? I feel like almost everyone I know pronounces it that way and I'm starting to wonder if I'm in the wrong, LOL.
Anywho, just had a client say ekspecially on the phone and it reminded me of this...

And speaking of "exactly", it also drives me nuts when people say 'ezz-actly."

Or just "specially?" That cracks me up.
And like the others, I too have those mispronounciations, misspellings, and misuses of words/phrases that drive me UP. THE. WALL.
OMG! My boss does this and of course it's a work your emphasize most of the time and it is like nails on a chalk board to me.
Also, I hate when people say "prolly." It's probably.

Mine is not so much a mispronunciation but a wrong word choice:
I hate when people say 'ambivalent' when they really mean 'indifferent.' I just got an email 5 minutes ago where this was the case and I was very tempted to reply something like "oh really? he had two strong, differing opinions about the subject?"
Judging
I just read on another board that someone called her DH "Scotch". No. He is not an alcoholic beverage, he is Scottish.
Along the same lines a girl I went to HS with had descendants from Sweden and Norway so obviously they were Swedish and Norwish.
My favorite Nest misspelling is "hammidowns" instead of hand-me-downs. Wow.
