This isn't a mispronounced word, but a mangled turn of phrase. I used to work for a very sweet woman who was in all ways refined, correct, and educated. Cept fer one thing. You know the phrase "Six of one, half dozen of the other"? It means "It doesn't matter, it's all the same to me." She said it as, "Half of six, a dozen of the other" and COULD NOT be convinced of the correct version.
