Faucet - no, it's what you do to the tap when it won't turn on.
Legos - because there are multiple bricks, you have to change the name of a globally recognised brand so you understand the concept.
Zucchini - no, it's a courgette...
In fact, over use of the letter Z in words where a S works fine...

They call curtains "drapes", no idea why but it kinda irritates me.
I watch a lot of American sport and have found myself start referring to O-fence and D-fence, so much so that the British pronunciation now sounds weird to me.

Schedule being pronounced skedule really irritates me. I have to listen to the train gaurd pronounce it the American way every day. One day I'm going to leave an angry cat in his litle cubicle and lock him in and shout at him that he is well behind shed-yule for having his scrotum mauled off.
Or I'll just moan about it on the internet.

Whilst amusing for us, this will do nothing to alleviate your daily suffering.
Prepare the cat.
TBH the pronunciation of Lieutenant has always thrown me.
I'm currently in the process of joining the Navy, and if it hadn't been for a quick google before one of my interviews I'd have looked like an absolute moron asking the interviewer why she referred to herself as a 'Leftenant' instead.
