20 English Language Phrases Mispronounced or Misspelled (continuation of The Confusion Of The English Language)

As pointed out in my blog from July 3rd, the English language (or at least the American branch of the language) is often confusing even to those who were born here.  I can't imagine learning it as a second language.  Where other languages seem to have set rules, English has set rules that all seem to have exceptions and sometimes even those exceptions have exceptions.

Here is a list of 21 commonly mispronounced or misspelled phrases.
