Pronunciation Police! (was Re: Spelling Police)

I wrote: I also pronounce Voldemort with a silent 'T'; whenever I say 
this in front of my friends they look at me as if I am stupid.

To which Amanda responded:

*sings* I am man, hear me pronounce Voldemort with a silent 'T'...

I didn't always pronounce it with a silent 'T'; only after I heard it 
on the Scholastic website. Nor did I know, before visiting that site, 
that 'knut' is pronounced 'kah-noot', with a non silent 'k'. 

Incidentally, there was a guy in my Professional Writing class who 
was from Norway, and his name was Knut, pronounced 'kah-noot'. I 
didn't know that it was a name. He had no, unfortunately, read Harry 
Potter.
