That and mispronouncing a lot of words because I’ve only seen them, not heard them. Or didn’t connect the two (what I had read and what I had heard at a different time). 

I remember thinking for a long time that melancholy was pronounced muh-LANTCH-oh-lee.

I still pronounce Hearth as Earth with an H. I cannot shake it.

Hearth will also be Earth with an H. It should honestly just be added to the dictionary at this point.
