What is something that you realised you have been pronouncing wrong your whole life?

I've been pronouncing Qatar ga tar but apparently the correct pronunciation is cutter.

When you have a particular talent you're good at, people call that your forte. Forte is also used in music to designate loudness. The musical forte is pronounced fortay. The talent forte was originally pronounced fort, but people often say fortay. Since it's been mispronounced so often, dictionaries now say either pronunciation is accepted.

Here's a similar one I've encounter too frequently, though it isn't actually a pronunciation error. Frustrated is a word. Flustered is a word. You'd be surprised how often I hear people say they're flustrated... which is not a word.

All these years, I've been pronouncing this one word, "dickhead". Now, I find out it's actually pronounced, "democrat'! WHO KNEW?

"Fagioli". I used to get cringey looks from Italian waiters everytime I'd pronounce it Faggy-oli until someone eventually told me I was pronouncing it wrong.
