Funny Mispronunciations

A friends daughter said to him the other day.

“ Dad, why are you always reading a book called To-clean?”

He just laughed and said “ Because mummy doesn’t do a good job of it”

Has anyone else heard some Funny Mispronunciations.

Like :-

Borimir: Beer-a-mare

Or
Aragorn: Argon

Argon is a classic...

My personal favorite as always been Bromir. Don't as me why people pronounce it that way.

Or one time I saw an "Aowyn and Eowyn poll question." Which one you thought was hotter. Got a laugh out of that.

When my Dad read LotR aloud to us, I'm not sure how much he knew about the languages. So thus, I learned these words as:

Seleborn
Izzengard
The Izzen
Izzledur
Andooin
Anduhril
etc. (I still stick with these pronounciations.

)

He also didn't bother with the elvish poems, and I vividly remember his rendition of the Black Speech:

"Arsh Glarsh Arsh Glarsh Arsh Glarsh!"

Ah, memories.
