For the last few years, I have heard people, generally teens and young adults, pronounce words containing the letters "esp" as "exp". For example, ordering an "expresso" at Starbucks or, that taco tasted expecially good. Within the last year or two, I've been hearing newscasters on TV doing the same--they should know better.

..."I'm replacing the problem." (He was talking to a customer about fixing the problem he had with the shipment of product and the fact that he was getting replacement shipment on the road.)
