How about Ronald 'Ree'-gan? He was president for 8 years, and some people couldn't say his name correctly.

edit - Just a coincidence that I was typing something about Reagan when sushi was adding the "Old-timer's" thing to her post.

But we do need to have people get 'rid' of the habit of putting an 'e' in ridiculous.

Maybe that get 'rid' will help. 'Separate a rat' has worked for me.

Get rid of the habit? That would be Reeee-diculous. :p

And who wood seperate a rat? That's gross. :p

Donald 'Ree'-gan served under 'Ray'-gan, did he not? As a young boy, I found that confusing.

The first part of the word rhymes with "care" vs. "car"

What's the phoentic difference with this one?

"Garrantee" has 'gar' (rhyming with bar); rather than 'guar', rhyming with bare.

"yayhoo" isn't as bad as folks calling our state "O-hi-ya"...

The first on I thought of was 'nuc-ular'.

Carter used to drive me crazy with that.

Then Bubba had a habit of throwing it in every other time he used the word. I think W must have listened to Bubba because he's always pronouncing it that way.
