[quote=grandpascorpion;203312]A Swedish friend mentioned one that I had never thought of before:

Mispronouncing avocado as avacado[/quote]
To pronounce the first o like the last one is clumsy,
giving it undue emphosis(sic).
AFAIK everyone here says "avercado".

My favourite mistake is "avogadro" made quite unintentionally
by my fiancee!

Pronounced betrayed.
