I really don't think marvl is a victim of his own misspelling . . . I've heard it pronounced pick-uh-tinny

Correct.  Though the "uh" in the middle is very short.  (Used to live in NJ and knew people who worked at Picatinny Arsenal).

LOL at Doublefeed.

Some other things (mispronunciations) that annoy me:

-Pronouncing Leupold like "leopold"
-combining the "ch" when saying Franchi (its pronounced "FRANKIE" people!!)
-Heckler and COCK (no no no!!!)

My pet peeve is people that pronounce "Steyr" like "Forkdtlepoocker" [:D]
