As someone whose contact with English is mostly by reading, this made me sure I'm likely pronouncing a bunch of words wrong in my mind.
Pop-sickles vs Pop-see-kleez in case that helps
Which is funnier?
The second one for sure. The first is the regular pronunciation.

As someone who didn't their formative years reading a lot more than taking, I also certainly pronounce a bunch of words wrong. It's always the pretentious ones, too, like pretentious, because people so rarely use them in speech.
Anyway, if enough of us pronounce them wrong together, it'll be the right people who are wrong!
