Answer

I'd make some grammatical corrections like so to make it better:

A : Hey, I just corrected you. you pronouced it wrong again! 
B : Ah, force of habit, you know, I 've pronounced this word as / *** / for years since THAT'S HOW IT WAS TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. Now I find it very hard to change MY habit and pronounce it right.
A : I can't believe / *** / was what you were taught IN SCHOOL 
B : Well, I never thought what we WERE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL IS WRONG
