dicks-lexia

For some reason I pronounce the word 'dyslexia' .... "dicks-lexia". I know that it's entirely incorrect to pronounce it that way... for obvious reasons...    but I can't help stop pronouncing it incorrectly. I think that I made a lame "inside-the-head" joke, one day, by combining 'dicks' and 'lexia" because it looks so much funnier than the real word. I think my brain unconsciously remembered it as the 'real" pronunciation of the word... therefore, tricking my brain into pronouncing the word with the "dicks"  in side of "dys-"       LOL.. i'm so screwed.   

I don't think it's as bad as my pronunciation of "toilet" (it's very Jersey).    Okay... I take that back. I think it's worse.
