Ok, so I'm slow

Meme has a long e. It's pronounced "meem".

All this time, I'd been pronouncing it "mem". Forget the fact that it looks like "heme", which I've always pronounced "heem". To me, it was "mem". Even now that I know better, I still want to say "mem".

At least I never pronounced it "memie". As in, oh no, not another screamin' meme!

So, anyone else have any blocks when it comes to certain words? Spelling or pronunciation, doesn't matter.

I pronounce "Sahara" the British way, but that's due to Britcoms since age 4.

I grew up in Buffalo NY, and as a consequence watched some Canadian kids shows. My mom had to untrain me from saying 'zed' instead of 'zee'.
