I always say 'epitome' as 'epi-tome' instead of like 'epi-to-mee' if that makes sense (probably not). I tried to be a smart arse a few years ago by using it whilst ranting about something and it completely backfired, the person was like "What? Do you mean [insert how it's properly pronounced here]" I was really embarassed :(
I have problems with 'February' and 'sixths' too.
