so what's the crazy ways that people would pronounce words?
My friends and I have a few things that we make fun of:
Wee-kee = Wiki
Dee-Essa = Diessa
Die-sa = Diessa
Die-essa = Diessa
Contag-ee-un = Contagion
Or-a = Aura
Are-A = Aura

I don't really make fun, but hearing these annoys me.
"Paragorn"
"tomb" (when referring to a tome)
"would of" instead of would have

With my use of language, I don't have a T in Mountains. Its Moun(silent t at back of throat)ains.
Its that way for me with just about everything thats got a T in the middle of it.
Then there's always the classic one to laugh at, people who enunciate the H in Who, What, Where, When, Why, etc. xD

The cool whip one is a classic and done back before that show got bad.
Flor-idi-a instead of floor-da. You aren't supposed to enunciate the I's.
Flor-id-ian instead of floor-dan. See above. This began irking me after I started thinking about it.

Oho - a cockney!
Thankfully, even the effete ridiculousness that is received pronunciation no longer insists on those awful initial-pronounced aitches. But still, these buffoons pronounce "house" to rhyme with "rice" and many, many other absurdities.
Snograt has a hate.
