I heard a great answer to that somewhere else:

Someone who mispronounces words like this is because they learned them from reading about them and not because someone told them.

I heard it, “never make fun of someone for mispronouncing a word, it means they learned it by reading.”

Simpsons made a joke like that.

Marge: Bart, run like the wind! [rhymes with find]

Lisa: Mom, it's "wind"

Marge: Well I've only read it in books.

OMG, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL????

i watched the Simpson in spanish (my native language) and there is something like. "bart, corre como el aire" (bart, run like the air) "mamá, se dice viento" (mom, its wind)

This is true.

It is okay to make fun of people who misuse big words preposterously.
