      I’ve encountered both. The two I mentioned got the point across.

        We say spuhghetti around these parts.

        I feel like I’m misunderstanding the joke though.

        The pronunciations you have in your head are mispronunciations that some children & uneducated people use.

          Yes, that’s why OP is asking if Italian children make similar mispronunciations. Like is it an artifact of learning a word that sounds like that in general or of learning it in the context of English specifically?
