My common bloopers - 14 - salivate

Saliva is pronounced as suh-live-ah. So I thought salivate must be suh-live-ate. But I discovered that it was not. 

It is pronounced as sally-weight. 

Interestingly this is a word that is easy to correct. And I have managed to get rid of the erroneous version completely. I guess little changes are more difficult to make. Sea change is easier to effect :). 

So, it सॅलिवेट not सलाइवेट
