@hamishb @bodhipaksa @stancarey This reminds me of something that happened in the reverse, seemingly just in Canada. My dad used to pronounce "khaki" as "car key", in a typical rhotic Canadian English accent. Canadians had added the 'r' in as an over-correction from the non-rhotic English accent, which "khaki" and "car key" are also homonyms because the "r" is not pronounced. My dad is the only one I knew of. I'm not sure how many Canadians still pronounce it this way, as we tend also to "do it to ourselves" in comparison to American English.
