When I was younger, I used to read misled as my-zld, although I never used that pronunciation in speech. It never occurred to me that miss-led and myzld were the same word until somebody was reading out loud in an English class. Luckily I managed to stop myself "correcting" them!


Lol RIbbie - when I was younger and reading all those Enid Blyton books, where the word "idiot" is mentioned frequently - I read it as "eye-diot" and never made the connection!!

How about bedraggled? Is it be-draggled? Or bed-raggled? I came across this in a bedtime story last night.
