My mother has always said "tatics" for "tactics" which drives me mad. However, I cannot for the life of me remember how to pronounce "integral". Is it "Inter-gral," "In-tee-gral" or "Int-egg-ral"? My husband laughs every time I have to use the word because I struggle with it. My son also gets irritated when I say, "Theatre" because I pronounce it "Thee-et-er" instead of Thea-ter." Most of the words I mispronounce are because I was reading words I'd never heard spoken when I was a young child. I didn't actually know about phonics so I took a guess at what they said and the mispronunciations in my head, stuck!
