A common mistake is people beginning to use slang and incorrect pronounciations they hear in everyday conversations. It’s not just in the English language but in all languages. I split my time between Europe and the US and I still on occasion get corrected when I say something in German or Danish that is incorrect. I welcome it, as you might want to as well because it’s how we learn and you also grow in that education and come across with more credibility and knowledge.
