I pronounce azure as “uh jzer” with emphasis on the second syllable and most other people say “aa jzer” with emphasis on the first.
Huh. I always thought the colour had the emphasis on the second syllable and had no idea about the software, but it turns out I've been wrong all along.
I'm going to blame "Azores" (which can be either, apparently) and "assure" (which is always emphasis second) for this as being the model(s) for my mistake.
My wife made fun of me the other day for pronouncing the h in homage. I quickly got my revenge when dictionary.com offered my way as the first pronunciation.
Oh-mage is fancier I will admit.

"It is called 'baggel'. I lived in New York."
I cop it from my friends and family for the way I say "baloon"
I say bloon with no a sound.
I think it stems from learning to spell it wrong as a child I never put the a in there to begin with and no one corrected me and by the time I realised it was to late
I also can't pronounce "regularly" to save my damn life.
When I say it i add syllables to the thing I think.

Cape CANNA VERR ALL = Cape Canaveral
Why? Because I can.
I over-pronounce Wednesday. Like wed-nes-day. Most people say wendsday.
Also apparently I'm weird for pronouncing jewelry correctly. I pronounce it like it is spelled, and what it means. It is personal ornaments often containing jewels. Jewel-ry. Not Joolery.
Same thing with Aunt. It's not Ant. There is a U in there.

I am the odd one out accent-wise, I am a woman with what would be called a Kiwi accent in a place where everyone else speaks with either a neutral American accent or a New England accent and one of the most common first questions people ask me is if I can say "envelope" for them.

Where did you grow up to learn to say south-urn?
