Here's one that gets me as it's pronounced so many different ways: Ibuprofen
Anyone got the last word on that? Medics always seem to miss off the Ibu bit and then say broofin

There's a drug called 'Brufen' which contains Ibuprofen - maybe they get confused. Which is not a scary sentence at all...

My sister used to say FUME instead of FILM, but she now says FILL-UM.
Fortunately she has lived in Edinburgh for nearly 30 years and I only see her 4 weeks out of the year so I can cope with it.

When people say 'haitch' instead of 'aitch.'
