I have been seeing an ad on TV for the "Bull" show in which the announcer describes the main character as "charismatic". I don't argue with the idea, but he pronounced the word as if it began with "chair" (hard "ch" instead of "k"). I have never heard anyone else ever use that pronunciation and when I looked the word up it only shows the initial "k" sound. Is this a regional thing? If so, where?
