Words that we pronounce in an odd way

Ever notice that there are words that we pronounce in odd ways.

I am not talking about words that have weird spellings that are not pronounced the way they are spelled like "laugh".

I am talking about words that are spelled and their pronunciation is not queastionable yet we often pronounce them in an odd way.


Here is one. Say it to yourself a few times and listen to how you say it.

<font size=4>Only</font>

Do you say

only or olny?

In less I am paying really close atteation I say olny.

What do you say?
What words have you observed are like this?
