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 hear so many people pronounce "cavalry" as "calvary," which is a different word altogether.
A coworker of mine always says chipolte it boils my guts
I pronounce Chipotle with the same emphasis as Aristotle

Same as you, but in my defense I've never heard it out loud. A mexican friend taught me the correct way, I then understood the word comes from Nahuatl
Similarly, chocolate and coyote and tomato are also Aztec/Nahuatl words in origin. Which means our pronunciation is likely inaccurate
Avocado is our English speaking ancestor's poor attempt at the Nahuatl word "ahuacatl."
cool !!
