    Its like people who only read or type words, but never actually have audible conversations with those words… they have no idea how to pronounce them.

    my friend pronounced Meme Me-Me the other day and I about died laughing

      Most people in general still cannot seem to figure out the difference between calvary and cavalry.

      Both are pronounced as they are spelled.

      Calvary is the hill Christ was crucified on.

      Cavalry refers usually to soldiers mounted on horseback, though since the invention of helicopters, it also means infantry transported via helicopters.

      This one doesn’t seem to be caused by lack of verbal usage, it seems to just be a quite common pair of words to conflate, a very minor but widespread dyslexia/dysphasia, like nuclear and nuke-you-lur.

        Rouge vs rogue is another good one. Also, aluminum vs ah-lu-mini-um.
