It annoys me when I hear people pronounce:
1) Happy BIRTHday as Happy BURFday...not cute! Seriously.
2) Australia as Ostrolia.
3) That means (BM: maksudnya) as That's mean (BM: kejamnya).
4) Carrefour (French: kar-foor) as Care Four (apparently the company changed it to 'care for' as it goes with the tagline,"We CARE FOR You". Only in Malaysia.
5) The Curve (the mall in Mutiara Damasara) as The Curf, or worse De Kef.
6) Strawberry as Stoberi.
7) McDonald's as Mekdonel or Mek Dee.
8) Connect as 'konek'...so wrong.
9) Malaysia as Malay-shiye.
* Feel free to add more.
