I did this with the word 'awry'. I read it as aww-ree. Interestingly I also knew the word 'awry' as eh-rye from hearing it spoken, I just didnt connect up that the two were the same word.

I distinctly remember saying "IN-tri-gyou-ing" (intriguing) for a bit as a kid.

Rather than "infra-red", I said "inf-rare-d" as a child.
