I heard a guy from Talaris pronounce "tdl" as "tibble". Anyone else ever
heard this?

How about "vi" as "veye" as in indiVIsible. 
A particularly widespread on seems daemon as either "DAYmon" or "DEmon". I've
seen people get religous about this, sometimes using the spellings as
jusification (daemon, demon).

Any other strange ones out there?
