What is a word you realized you were pronouncing wrong until you heard someone else say it?

Dachshund and indicted:
Dash-Hound In-Dicked-ed
Even though I heard people pronounce dachshund I didn't connect it to the written word until I was in my 30's probably. I knew that a weiner dog was a "doc-sun" but didn't know how it was spelled
Since I'm a fucking idiot, for some reason I used to tell people our dog we had when I was a kid was a dashhound/docsun mix. So yeah this one hits home lol.
Oof
that's the funniest thing i've ever heard. kid-you was a genius.
