User:Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV/odd pronunciations
The purpose of this page is to record unexpected pronunciations found in media so that potential variants can be identified. It is likely that most of them are idiosyncrasies or individual mistakes; this list will make it easy to identify those that are more widespread than expected and perhaps add them to the entry. Feel free to add data and comments.
