How about Prevent-at-ive. I hate this, no such word - it is Prevent-ive!
Even doctors say it the wrong way. Every time I hear it on TV it makes me
want to hurl!

Or Denice rather than Dentist. Tode-ily rather than Tot-ally, Producks
rather that Products (people seem to hate 'T's' these days - especially
those under 20). I could go on, and on, and on...
