11. Any food ad that has "chipotle" peppers in it.
It's cheh-pote'lee not cheh-pol'tee!!!

The first time I heard it mispronounced was for Taco Bell. You would think that a big advertising company would hire someone that knew how to pronounce the ingredients before they put it out on national TV and radio! I have to wonder how much mail and phonecalls they got in response. And yet, the mispronunciation continued. I swear it must have been a full year of other companies continuing to get it wrong before one of them got it mostly right. There's still no accent, just Caucasian-style butchering of other languages, as usual :P
