My college roommate got tripped up by the word "misled". He knew the spoken word as it was meant to be pronounced, (miss led), but didn't recognize the written word as that same word, and had this other word in his head that meant the same thing that he pronounced "myzulled."
One day, he said something like, "I was myzulled!", so I said... "do.. do you mean 'misled?'" at which point the light bulb moment occurred, and afterwards, we continued to deliberately use the "myzulled" mispronunciation as an inside joke.
