Are there any words that you deliberately mispronounce?

Swear that I've never heard car pronounced that way here. You do hear "Seerday" for Saturday, and "tore" for tour, but what the heck?

To me, there is a "W" in the word "do" (dew). :)
 
You voice do and dew as homophones? How odd. :)

I can't think of any other examples right now, but the extra y' sound is the difference between US and UK English in the word tube.

Ahhh You're thinking of dew as "dyoo" right? I pronounce do as doo with a w on the end of it. Just like it's spelled d-e-w.
 
That's even more odd, but hey, accents, right? :)

I pronounce Žvaigžde (Lithuanian: star) without the diacritic over the e, just
to sound cool and edgy.
