Words that you always misread

I always read
bugling
as
BUHG-ling
(a little bug) and
misled
as
MEYEZ-ld
(the past participle of the verb
misle
, of course—but don't ask me what it means).
Does anyone else have problems like this, or is it just me?

I know I have, but none are coming to mind at the moment.

I read misled the same way. I had a friend who read bologna, Bo-lohg-nuh. I was so pissed when I found out misled was Mis-Lead.

Misread
. I always think it's
misread
. (meaning: I always think it's the tense that it's not.)
