Always loved this word! But, somehow, I first learned to pronounce it dis-com-boob-u-late! And did for many years. And I like that way better, so I still use the "incorrect" pronunciation. Really.I mean, you'd have to be a boob to be so disorganized, right? So, see, it makes perfect sense.
(same with hackneyed [hack-need]; I used to pronounce it hack-nyed [as in "eye"]...I still like my way better, but I threw in the towel a ways back on that one)
