I too find the mispronounciation grating. I'm reminded of a Family Circus cartoon where the little boy came home from school and said "Mommy, mommy, I learned a new word at school today. Can you
surmise what it is?" ;-)
And yes Rush, the proper pronunciation is better.
your not going to believe this!
