    When I was 30 I learned that I had pronounced and spelled the German word “unbedingt” wrong my entire life. I thought it was “umbedigt” as in “um jeden Preis”. I thought all others spelled and pronounced it wrong or spoke more elaborate than I.

      Ah, don’t worry. There are tons of those in the German language. Mine was “Firmament”, I thought it was “Firnament”. Yours is a bit worse ;)
