What continuously bugs me in North America is the butchering of Russian words. One in particular, Sputnik. Everyone pronounces is exactly as it's written, when it would be pronounced Spootnik.

Or the Russian word for "no", everyone pronounces it as "neeyet".
It makes me grind my teeth. The correct pronounciation is something more like "neht". The second letter is not an "eey" sound, but an "eh" sound.

But then i bet anyone who hears me pronounce "gullible" would likely have the same problems with me :(
