Heh, ameliorate was a better example word. The real one that always comes to mind for me is debacle. I always read it as de-buckle (like unbuckling a belt) in my head until I heard someone on the news say it once. "Lol, that anchor pronounced debacle wrong ............ wait ..."

Damn now debacle is a word I'm sure I've only ever read and never heard. Is it not "de-buckle"?

I feel like this is "awry" for me all over again
