Re: Ladies! Let's get this straight...
It's not "I think so I want to eat peas today." It is "I think I want to eat peas today."
It's not "what did you ate?" It's "what did you eat."
Some people pronounce it with a hard G (like in Gate), thus:
Geero/Gy-ro
Or some people pronounce it with a J, thus:
Jeero/Jyro
The correct way of pronouncing it is yeer-oh - with the Y being a very light guttural sound which will sound like a very soft G sound at the beginning, and then you roll the R.

Re: Ladies! Let’s get this straight…
This thread is too good 
Re: Ladies! Let's get this straight...
Ok, So Hermès (the French fashion house, not the Greek God) is not pronounced Her-meeeess.
The "accent grave" on the e (downward accent flick - è) is pronounced "eh". If there was an "accent aigu" on the e (upward accent flick - é) then it would be pronounced "ay".
"H" is silent in French, as is "S", if the S is at the end of the word, with some exceptions, this being one.
Therefore, Hermès is pronounced "air-maess", first syllable pronounced quickly, being a blend of "air" and "err", second syllable with a soft S.

Some of these mispronunciations are commonplace...while others seem to be just exclusive to people known to the poster alone.
Its not that bad.....though there are a few nuances which have become ghalat-ul-aam. Some of the above one's are too hilarious though.
Valet (pronounced as wallet) Parking is a recent one I heard from a colleague!
Ooo missed this one:
