I'm almost 50 and recently learned I've been pronouncing two words wrong.
"Template" as 'tem' + 'plate' (like a dish) instead of 'tem' + 'plet' (like 'let')
"Opacity" saying the middle 'a' like 'hay' instead of like 'math'.
That one I was SURE I was right when my wife told me, so I asked my Google home mini: "Hey Google, how do you pronounce the word 'opacity'?" (Pronouncing it my way), and to prove that Google has a mean sense of humor, (and I swear this is true) responded with "Guacamole". My wife has not let me live that down.
Template is sometimes pronounced template.
