Let's just be thankful other people have the good heart to share these things. Anyway,it is up to us if we will assimilate it or not. Why don't we just add something helpful instead of criticizing. Destructive criticism doesn't help!

I never even heard of most of them!

Is it sad I already knew the correct way to pronounce all of these?

I knew most of them but look like I've been using #1 & #9 incorrectly. I guess you're never too old to brush up on this stuff!

A lot of these were really obvious

I knew them all...and the correct spellings!

I needed these! Thank you!

No, I'm good. I like pronouncing things "wrong" anyways.

It should be deep seeded though. That's just a better analogy.
