When I first heard someone mispronounce
Archetype as Arch-Type, I was thrown into doubt, I was proved right eventually, but at first I was so confused, "do I have it wrong, or does he?"

I remember once in science class, these two girls were giving a report on buoyancy and mispronouncing Archimedes, Arch-emedes, I corrected them as politely as I could, (slipping the right pronunciation into a question), but I hope I didn't embarrass them by correcting them.
I wouldn't have known the right pronunciation either except for "The Sword in the Stone" and my weird eidetic memory.
