It can happen with common words too! Like I didn’t know I was pronouncing Thai food wrong till that John Oliver episode

You never heard anyone say Thailand? Or you just never made the connection?

I think it’s the former, I also think I maybe imagined the “Th” when someone else said it. I also may have been surrounded by others who mispronounced both.

So in short I blame society /s
