one word in english pronounced incorrectly?

Question

which is that word

Answer 1

"Incorrectly."

Answer 2

Not one word is ever said incorrectly ... depending on where you live. Plus, what you are trying to say may change the way the word is pronounced. I would say, "I would like to pre-fiss my statement with ..." but at the same time, I would say, "The pre-face of the book mentions ...." In fact, the dictionary will oftentimes list more than one pronounciation for a word.

Because English spelling is so backward, some words are hard to pronounce because they are spelled wrong. If the correct way of saying preface is "pre-fis," then we need to teach our children that like is "lik." (short i)

But, if everyone in a particular area started saying a word "wrong" and it caught on, then in a 100 years or less, the new pronounciation wouldn't be any more wrong that the old way of saying it.

Languages evolve!
