My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Well, if nobody else will*rapes*
I like to mis-pronounce words, it makes my day.
I can't think of a good example now though, I'm sure I thought of a good one this weekend, but unfortunately Mr Beer has taken away my brain.

How aboutcanapes.
Pronounced ka-napes, rather than ca - na - pes, a la francais.
Makes me giggle when people think that is really how to pronounce it.
