When I was 30 I learned that I had pronounced and spelled the German word "unbedingt" wrong my entire life. I thought it was "umbedigt" as in "um jeden Preis". I thought all others spelled and pronounced it wrong or spoke more elaborate than I.
Just pretend you wrote it in Swiss German and you're good!
Gesamt oder gesammt? Kommt doch von Summe
Btw I also pronounce it umbedingt although I know better
Had an argument with my ex once (both speaking german as a third language) about the pronounciation of 'Umgebung', where she made it sound like "Um'g-bung" for some reason. Ended up asking a random train conductor to settle it.
Oom-gay-bung.
Germans are gay for the environment.
Ah, don't worry. There are tons of those in the German language. Mine was "Firmament", I thought it was "Firnament". Yours is a bit worse ;)
