Which English word do Australians always pronounce incorrectly?

This is a bit of a tricky question, as it's subjective! While Australians have their own distinct accent, they don't pronounce any word *incorrectly* in a way that's objectively wrong.

However, there are some words that often sound different to non-Australian ears, which could be perceived as "incorrect" depending on your perspective. Here are some examples:

* "Schedule": Australians often pronounce this with a "sk" sound at the beginning, like "sked-yool".

* "Tomato": The "a" sound can be pronounced more like an "e", making it sound like "to-may-to".

* "Data": Some Australians pronounce the "a" as a short "e" sound, making it sound like "day-ta".

* "Garage": The "a" can be pronounced more like an "e", making it sound like "ger-ridge".

It's important to remember that these are just common differences in pronunciation and not mistakes. Australians are simply using their own accent, which is a natural and valid way of speaking English.
