Conversely, just fucking go for it. Who even cares? Have a laugh about it!
I think mispronouncing weird words you've worked into your vocab is a nice middle ground between sounding insufferable and approachable. Yes I used ameliorate but I also mangled the hell out of it, so how smart could I really be?

how did you say it? Amelly-or-ate?
-
Heh, ameliorate was a better example word. The real one that always comes to mind for me is debacle. I always read it as de-buckle (like unbuckling a belt) in my head until I heard someone on the news say it once. "Lol, that anchor pronounced debacle wrong ............ wait ..."
-
Damn now debacle is a word I'm sure I've only ever read and never heard. Is it not "de-buckle"?
I feel like this is "awry" for me all over again
