Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

I mean I live in Colorado and I've heard it both ways all the time. I've even heard "da tum" and "date 'em" for the singular.
