hardest to pronounce

[Mark A. Mandel]

Jonathan Lighter remarks:
>>>
You don't have to be a Civil War re-enactor to hear "calvary" for "cavalry."
It's the only off-campus pronunciation I've ever heard here in Tennessee,
though admittedly the wotrd doesn't come up that often.

C. S. Lewis referred to this speech error quite pointedly in _That Hideous
Strength_, the last volume of the Perelandra trilogy. He was, of course,
very much a Christian writer, perhaps the only author of explicitly
Christian fantasy whose works are appreciated and enjoyed by a large
proportion of the general fantasy audience.
