I recall the time I was taking an IQ test, and the counselor was giving me an oral spelling test.  I think I missed one word:  he said "ak-wee-es" and I had no idea what the heck word that was.  It turned out to be "acquiesce" which is a verb meaning to concur.  I knew that word but thought it was pronounced the way it was spelled, "ak-kwise."  So, my IQ was formally dropped down because of that, lol.
