^^ I pronounce it the same way Mr. T does. Is there really any other choice?

OK, I'll start pronouncing it "I pity the fool"

Does non-car related count?

I really started to think lately that my whole life I had been saying "sword" incorrectly by pronouncing it with the "w" silent. I still have my doubts.

I did voiceovers when I worked at small-market stations, and I support this comment.

My fiance's parents were from Iowa and Minnesota, so she often pronounces things the northern way if there are different ways. She, however, says "cranz", and it makes me want to murder every time.

An old friend pronounces everything the same as me, except he pronounces orange - wait for it---- "O-winj".
