There are two correct pronunciations of the word 'often'

This one bothers me because I was corrected, so I felt it was my duty to prove that I was, in fact, right!  Pronouncing the word often with or without the 't' sound is correct. Either way is acceptable.  So there!!
of·ten (ôfən, ôf-tən)

Same goes for the word 'mauve'
mauve (mōv, môv)

and 'coupon'
coupon (koo-pon, kyoo-pon)
