That was easy for me because my mother was a teacher and the Board of Education is located there so I grew up hearing the word before I saw it written.

I know Ptarmigan from "Do You Love Me Mama"
Fjord from the Parrot Sketch
And OMG. DD11 had a spelling test a few weeks ago with February as one of the words. Her homework was to write all the spelling words 3 times for practice. She wrote "Feb." three times.
And my youngest (when he was 3) wanted to know where all the metchies were at the "mentchie school" when we came for carpool

The first two are pretty intuitive. Obviously a pt is not going to be pronounced as such, which would lead you to believe that the p is silent. An fj is just begging for the j to be pronounced as a y.
Baccalaureate is pronounced as it's spelled. It's harder to spell than pronounce.
Quandary was my 5th grade vocabulary word, so yeah, I know how to pronounce it.
How do people pronounce elementary? Shortening the pronunciation elementry is pretty standard in American pronunciations. It's not a mispronunciation.
