I remember in high school saying I was preserving something “for prosperity” and my art teacher pointed out the phrase was “for posterity.” But I think my mistake kind of made sense, because if I had preserved a work of art, it might have appreciated in value over time and therefore increased my overall prosperity.
I can think of two words that I heard and used, but when I read them in books or magazines as a kid, I just didn’t put them together with the spoken words I knew:
1) determined – in my head reading I pronounced it “debter-mined” with emphasis on first syllable and long “i”,
and 2) Yosemite – I’d heard of the National Park, but, when I read it, for years it was, yes, of course, “Yoes-mite” rhyming with “toes-tight”. 🙂
My weird words: LOL – there have been many. Antithesis stands out (or, as I liked to pronounce it for a very short time, anti-thesis). A couple of places in the USA do as well, namely Tucson (it’s not pronounced Tuckson??) and Arkansas (not R-Kansas?).
