At a meeting the other day, the COO of our company was reading a policy to our compliance committee. She kept coming across the word "facsimile". She pronounced it "FAH-zi-mal" every time. I have no idea where she got that pronunciation.
When I got back to my office I tried to tell my cow-orker how funny it was. So I spelled out the word and asked her to pronounce it. "Fax-mail", she said.
I couldn't make this stuff up.
