Most people probably have their own private words; it's hard to know what the "standard" pronounciations are if you're just reading text. Another one I've thought of is that I always say url, not U.R.L. - didn't know you weren't "supposed" to. It's not as stupid-sounding as you might think: I'm not saying "Earl" all the time; it's more like the vowel in "her" than the vowel in "hair". That phonetic merger doesn't exist round here.
