    that's an acceptable pronunciation


    here's some mispronounced words:

    vitae - vee-tie

    mango - maen-go (to pronounce the "ae" drop your jaw as if to say A, then from that position, try to say EH. it's close to the sound that a goat makes: maaahhh.. Most Pinoys pronounce it as "Mayng-go" which is incorrect.

    cocoa - kow-kow

    mortgage - MOR-gij

    mature - ma-tur

    plaid - plad not playd

    diabetes - die-uh-bee-tis

    affidavit - af-i-day-vit

    camera - Kem-ruh

    cupboard - Ku-bird

    that's all for now..

    TS its not that people are pronouncing it wrong on purpose different culture have different comprehension on spelling and there is also the accent.

    OT: Everyone seems to think that when people get western pronunciations wrong, that of a word derived from their local language and accent they are stupid. If you ever heard how a westerner pronounces and spells our language(tagalog or cebuano) in their own comprehension without looking at a local dictionary for proper syntax. You'd be laughing your ass off.

    western civilization had this trend in the past to make things appear and sound more sophisticated in order to be looked up upon as more civilized and well developed, especially when marketing strategist got into the gig things blew out of proportion and eventually the words stuck and the strategy remains in use to date.
