Mispronounced in Your Head

The question at reddit is:
Which words did you mispronounce for years because you’d only seen it in writing?

Some of the answers include
Hors d’œuvre
Paradigm
Epitome
Hyperbole
Draught
Meme
Segue
Macabre
Hermione
Are you sure you know how to pronounce these words aloud? Do you have any other examples of words you were surprised to hear pronounced for the first time?
