Commonly mispronounced words

Ok, the whole ricotta thing in the Food & Drink section got me thinking (please, hold your applause)...

Do you ever hear words that are mispronounced on a regular basis, or ones that are just flat out said wrong?

Here is my example of a word said wrong: we have a avian rehabilitation center here in our town. It is the raptor rehabilitation center - commonly known as the raptor center. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people refer to it as the "rapture center". Gaaaaaaaads

An example of a word pronounced incorrectly: zoology. It's not zoo-ology. It's zoh-ology. Well at least my high school biology teacher said so, and I think he's right.

Well.... anybody else have one or two??

p.s., don't mind my spelling..... it's Friday night and, errrmm.....
