Embarrassing mispronunciations of words

[jaiguruKun]

For 30+ years whenever I read the word awry I pronounced it Oh-rie. Only recently found out the correct pronunciation.

I also always pronounce the 'y' in prayer and mayor.

I can't get the hang of the silent 'w' in drawer when I read it.

Am I the only one with these blind spots or do other people have then?
