Not restricted to JWs, but "here goes":
[1] "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".
[2] "A whole nuther thing" Instead of "Another thing".
[3] "Nucular" instead of "nuclear".
[4] "Does (he, she) have a temperature?" instead of "Does (he, she) have a fever?"
...to name just a few.

I hate it when realtors say re-lator.
We had a brother give the whole Sunday morning talk saying viligent instead of vigilent in prayer. Hubby corrected him afterward. The brother was the Ministry School Overseer!

One that always gets to me, it happened the other night at the service meeting as a matter of fact, the congregation was asked to turn their bibles to Ecclesiastiks. LOL

The pastor at a church I once went to always pronounced phenomena as "phenonema" - and insisted on doing so (I did hear him get it right once in the 6 years I was there!) Another pastor at the same church used to mispronounce statistics as "stastistics"; he too insisted on using the word as much as he could.

Some US Brothers struggle to pronounce'Aluminium' correctly, so I am told.
