As a true video game nerd, I learned how to read english before I learned how to speak it.

As a direct result of that, when we first started learning English, I would pronounce silent letters, like for instance the k in "know" and the w in "sword." And I thought the "ch" in "character" was pronounced like the "ch" in "charades."

I refused to acknowledge the correct pronounciations for several years.

I'm sure there are words I don't pronounce right to this date, but as I'm obviously not aware of them, I can't tell you what words they are. That's probably why I'm pronouncing them wrong in the first place.
