WORDS MOST AMERICANS MISPRONOUNCE.

ANTISEMITIC. For some reason most people say antisemetic. Think Semite, not Semete.
INTERNET. Note the T. It's not innernet or innanet. The same rule applies to interstate, intercourse, interview, Atlantic. romantic, dentist, Santa Claus, or any Santa, and hundreds of other words that have an interior T that is supposed to be pronounced. Try it. It actually sounds nicer pronounced properly.
PUNDIT. While not as rampant, many people—including our moronic president—says pundint.
NUCLEAR. Speaking of idiots, George W. Bush said nucular as do many politicians who should know better
GULF. Surprise, there is no Golf of Mexico.
Sorry, had to get that out of my system.

NOTE: Comcast, America's most hated company, has produced dozens of commercials to lure new users to their incompetent service. And on every one of them they mispronounce the very thing they profit from: the Internet, which they think is the innanet.
