I thought maybe 3 syllables, like in the related form “oceanic” but subtract the ic.
I say in dicked, then in dite when I see “indict.”
My elder brother watched a scholarly gent telling Boy Scouts about Ouabache Park in W. Lafayette, Indiana, pronouncing it Ow-BATCH-ee. When he was done, my brother took him aside to tell him, “That’s the French spelling. The locals called it Wabash.” Then he turned him around to face the Wabash River.
I know what an epitome is, but it looks like it means “the outside layer, epi, of a big book, tome.”
Whenever I read the name Sean, I always mentally pronounce it “seen”.
And if you spell your name Stephen, I am totally going to call you “step hen” in my head.
That is definitely true, but the pronunciation is older than that, as I witnessed the in-house brand shoe in 1972. Tarzhey Boutique was a local joke name even back then. I grew up with the stores before K-Mart and Wal-Mart entered our frozen borders and we already had the nickname, simply because Target was where Twin Citians shopped because local. Being in the cart seat while my parents shopped their first grand opening is one of my earliest memories.
Same here. 
I’m from Utah and we say it that way as well.
For me, hedonist has a short e. Because I confuse myself on which one is correct, I never use the word in conversations.
At least I’ve overcome my childhood habit of rhyming windy and Wendy.
I’m from New York and it’s OHshen here too. Add me as another one confused how it wouldn’t be two syllables.
Actress Stepfanie Kramer recently appeared on NCIS, and I immediately thought, “Hey, that’s Step Fanny Kramer.” Apparently she started out as Stephanie, so she must have changed it to Step Fanny at some point.
Persephone is, or at least should be, pronounced 'percy phone." It is in my head.
… Especially because the G of GIF stands for Graphics.
(Now, if you want to pronounce that word “Girafficks”, I’m on board…)
.
As a kid, I read a scifi short story (I read nothing else at that age), where the main character spelled “girl” as grwl.
Fifty years later, when someone mentions a girl, I take a beat to voice gur’-wul in my brain.
HEPA filter, because it should be pronounced HEE-PA by English grammar standards. But US folks say HEP-AH, because why? I still say heepa and get told I’m wrong frequently. No, say I. You are wrong.
Indefatigable is indefatigue-able according to my brain.
Not a word, but a URL:
A few years ago we switched to Boost Mobile phone service. The name of the company is Boost Mobile and the signs on their brick and mortar stores say BOOST, right over the entryway, just as you’d expect
But their URL is boostmobile.com, and running the words together completely changes where the accent goes. Now it looks like the name or a type of vehicle, like a Batmobile. Or even an antique car like a Hupmobile.
Uh oh. That’s not right?
Similarly: telecommunications provider Digital Island’s website reads to me like an online heart medication retailer: Digitalis Land dot com.
@Dung_Beetle I’m told it’s inde-fat-a-gable
Considerably better than the way I mis-read it.
I thought Portia DeGeneres’ name was spelled Porche, then I remembered Julius Caesar’s wife’s name.
I read that Anthony Hopkins deliberately mispronounces Chianti in Hannibal Key-an-ti. How is it pronounced?
I’m not sure my nephew believed me when I told him how Worcestershire is pronounced.
decade=DEK ade
decadent=DEK ade ent, wait, dek ADE ent, no…
JFK said “We choose to go to the moon in this de KADE…”
British English? Mick sang it that way in “Sympathy for the Devil.”
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
Mine is the building supply/hardware retail chain, Home Despot. Amusingly, typing this in to the two main online search engines returns the actual company name.
