It should be a war crime.

I pronounce "salmon", "solder", "colonel", "victual", "gunwale", "vineyard", and "indict" all phonetically. I still insist that they're alternative pronoucniations and not "wrong ways to pronounce them". If that's the case, then say "GIF" however the hell you want.

You should never say 'worcestershire sauce ' in public, you'll cause a riot.

I switch up my pronunciation on a whim to cause maximum chaos.

Are there people that pronounce it other ways?

Since the whole Michael Bublé Bubly advertisements, I like to say Googlé just to watch people roll their eyes.
