Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

    I had a roommate in college that pronounced “epitome” like “epi-tohm.” He also pronounced “tome” like “toom.” Drove me nuts.

      My buddy would always talk about the skill toom’s used to unlock the “ruin” (rune) skills.

      Barely Sociable did this and got a chuckle out of me, great that he owned it in a later video, though.
