Interesting, I never had an issue with those but the one that got my growing up was awry. I still want to read it as "aw-ree" like "awful" despite knowing it's actually "ah-rye". I also knew the latter as a spoken word but I guess I didn't question how it was spelled for a long time.

Fun, less useful fact in a similar vein: "Antipode" is pronounced "anti-pode" how you'd expect but the plural "Antipodes" is pronounced "an-ti-po-dees"like A Greek word. I still have no idea why that's the case.
