I thought this might be a fun discussion...
This was borne out of a conniption my youngest had about some words of which she wasn't sure of the correct pronunciation. The original was "respite", but after learning the ways it's pronounced, she went on to rant about "niche". (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/ helped with both.)
What are the English oddities or pet peeves that plague you?
