Okay this has me laughing so hard I can't even think of the usual words that people mis-pronounce. I know I have always had trouble with the following words:
*sausage- sawsage
*orange- orgne
*Massachutes- Massachewtes.

Uh..Ex-squeeze me!
I've definitely heard "thoat" (posted by TE) & "wrench" (posted by Skeeliteful)...Laaaawd my folks in Ga! One thing that makes me really laugh is when my Grandma says "corch", instead of coach! And, she also says "roard", instead of road! Oh! And, what about V-C-Arra!  I guess I have a problem pronouncing words too, like if I say "human", my sister swears I'm saying "hurman"...It doesn't sound like that to me, though.

What did they say?
Fruit pronounced as "fruht"!!!   (inside joke, perhaps soror will post in her own defense!)
Throat pronounced as "throak" (her brother!)
Let me leave them alone before they get too upset with me and use some that I've heard in South Cack:
Street: "Skreet"
String: "Skring"
Children: "Churren" or "Chillen"
Orange: "Errnge", as in "Errngeburg", SC (Orangeburg) This one used to get on my last nerve!
Shrimp: "Scrimp"

Some of the older folks in "Ahia," (That's a state just South of Lake Erie) say...
Oil=earl
bush=boosh
wash=warsh or even woiche
People in my hometown of Columbus pronounce it C'lumbus. We also lived for a time in Balmer, Merlan (Baltimore) and M'waukee, WiSCONsin
In Balmer when you need an Amblance (ambulance) you call the POleese (Police).

You reminded me of something. I've also heard people say:
*Graduation: Grad-oo-LA-shun
And that has nothing to do with being country--that's straight up ignorance--WITH NO CHASER!!
