My wife called my attention to me saying warshed instead of washed.  It's a southern thing.  I have agents who leave a voice-mail saying realaty instead of realty, another southern thing.....

If San Diego can mispronounce it's own neighborhoods and mountains: Kearny Mesa (Kerny instead of Karny) in 92111 and Cowles Mountain (Cowls instead of Coals) 92120 both named after famous historical figures. If this whole country mispronounces Tokyo (To-Key-oh instead of To-kyo) and Karaoake (kerry-o-key instead of Kara-o-kay), I imagine local wild life is possible too.

The ways I hear people pronounce my state (Oregon) sometimes makes me feel like fingers on a chalkboard.  But is that really something to be concerned about?  As long as we communicate, isn't that what really matters?

Okay. It hardly ever happens.

I think depending on where you are from acceptable and correct pronunciation will vary... but maybe that makes life more interesting at least for some of us :-)
