    How do you (mis)pronounce some words

    Language is funny at times. Eg:
    Message received from the front line in battle: Send three and four pence, we're going to a dance.
    Actual message:
    Spoiler


    Some common words:

    Cache - kay-sh (some say cash)
    Router - r-out-er (Yanks say roo-ter)
    Data - dah-ta (some say day-ta)

    ISO - eye-so
    Which is from the Greek Isos; it is a word not an abbreviation.
    It is the short form for the International Organisation for Standardisation – wacky hey!
    They define it so it must be http://www.iso.org/iso/about/discover-iso_isos-name.htm

    Nikon - nik-on (Yanks sometimes say nigh-kon)

    What weird word variations have you heard?
