When Nick asked why CHUTNEYS doesn't end in IES, I think a better explanation than the one Susie gave about it being a borrowed word is that words that end in vowel-Y generally just take an S.

I think Susie was speaking legalese for "I don't know".

Indeed, Susie was talking nonsense. CHUTNEYS
does follow the regular standard English plural, plainly and simply. How could someone like Susie get so confused?

I was so happy when Andrew mispronounced MISLED, as I remember myself mispronouncing it in exactly the same way as a child!

I was well into my 20s before I realised what the word actually was.

I would have thought context would have prevented you from being mizled.

I knew what the word meant - just never twigged it was mis-led. Same with denier as in climate change - thought it was pronounced the same as stockings.
There are probably other words in my head that are still wrong

It reminds me of biopic and how some people don't seem to realise it's bio-pic, not like myopic.
