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 coworker once try to tell me I pronounced nihilism wrong - I say it nee… he claimed nye… was correct. He made such a a stink about it, actually yelling at me, that other coworkers were gathering around hoping for a fight… Somebody had a dictionary, so I looked it up, and of course both are listed as correct. He then moved the goalposts saying his way was “more” correct… but I got the last word - “I DON’T CARE!”

      That’s just the French pronunciation
