A man on his cell phone was saying that he was staying at the Occident Hotel. He pronounced it "ossident." I corrected him under my breath as I walked by. Too bad I didn't have the courage to say it louder.
You should have screamed the correct pronunciation at him and then stormed off like you were having a bad day and his mispronunciation was what finally made you snap.
I have a long list of words that I'm glad I never had the opportunity to say out loud before learning the right way to say them: dais, perpetuity, macabre...
