Funiculi Funicular!

Words I dislike:

Inure
Funicular
Palimpsest

Bonus: Awkward has too many w's.

I like the words "chitin" and "chitinous," but so many people mispronounce them. Wil Wheaton was narrating John Scalzi's The Android's Dream and said "chitinous" like it's spelled, instead of with a hard "K" and long "I" as in the Greek letter chi. I cringed.
