It's mostly when people mispronounce words...especially these, my Big Three pet peeves.
chipotle (chipol-tay is the worst mispronunciation)
supposedly (NOT "supposably"...argh!)
voluptuous (people always wanna add an "m" in the middle, like it's volumptuous)6 -

How about 'bruschetta' if you're not Italian! Some words I know I horribly mispronounce, but I think if I tried to say it properly, it'd be waaay worse!!
...guilty of 'volumptuous'!! Thanks, tho! I never read it right + I'm a horrible speller
...you just educated me lady! And I like it!5 -

Confession over here, I was in an adult spelling bee recently and one of my biggest competitors spelled voluptuous with an "m" and that was glorious for me.6 -

My hubs loves to mispronounce words on purpose and it drives me up the wall. His favorites are: salmon (saul-min), jalapeno (jall-uh-peno), and phone (pah-hone). The other day he was looking for cinnamon and he asked the associate where the "syna-mon" was. My eye roll was so hardcore it almost got stuck there.5 -
