People who call them 'marshmEllows'. NO NO NO NO NO!!! It highlights your ignorance in other areas. You probably say "skellington" too, and "WestminIster". Nobbers.

I said that to my neighbour not long after moving in, the look on her face was if she'd just found a skid mark on a hotel towel. Hyacinth Bucket has nothing on her, oh the fun we have winding her up at every opportunity.

Urban myth I'm afraid..

The OED disagrees:

"Changes in the pronunciation of consonant sounds during the early modern English period contributed significantly to the incongruity between spelling and pronunciation. Accordingly consonant sounds ceased to be pronounced in many contexts.

For example:
initial k- and g- ceased to be pronounced before n (as in knight, gnaw) as did initial w- before r (as in write)."
