In primary school, my best friend's older sister told her that the word 'yellow' could also be correctly pronounced 'lellow'. She went around saying the word 'lellow' so much that it became really annoying. I had a huge row with her about it, so we decided to have a vote amongst our other friends. They all decided that 'lellow' was in fact the correct pronounciation, and we all went around saying 'lellow' instead of 'yellow' for the rest of primary.
