Non-native English speakers, before vehicle was vee'ekl, was it veh-hick-l or veh-hike-el? For me, it was the former, but I knew people who used the latter!

    Ve-chai-l
    My English is almost entirely self-taught, and I started before I got addicted to YouTube, so I had a couple memorable consistent misreadings before I heard the corresponding words. In this case I read vehicle as vechile and applied what little intuition I had to this.

    @Jabb03 I think it's a regional thing but the h is often silent. In London it's week-l
