holy moly, I think I've said it wrong my whole life now! I always said "war - ez" like "Juarez." "Wares" like "where's" with a Z sound makes a lot of sense. That's funny.
Related, a former colleague was mostly self taught and pronounces "attribute" as "a tribute." The first time I noticed this "mispronouncing in your head" was encountering the name Phobe in a book in high school. I read it as "foh-b" (long oh), not "fee-bee". I had no clue who this "fee-bee" person was that the teacher was talking about! haha
