If these 100 Most Commonly Mispronounced Words and Phrases are indeed commonly mispronounced as advertised, people are commonly pretty fuckin' stoopid.

Perhaps some words deserve to be replaced by their mispronounced versions, such as:

card shark (incorrect)
vs.
cardsharp (correct)

when popular usage of the correct pronunciation is a relatively rare occurrence. For example, Google reports about 20,200 hits for "card shark" compared to about 3,750 for "cardsharp."
