I say weary when I mean wary. I know when I've done it but it just comes out because that's how my mom says it. The fucking bitch.
I was embarrassed quite a bit when my ex corrected my pronunciation of "gamut", but I haven't mispronounced it since.
How were you pronouncing gamut? Maybe I'm saying it wrong.
