I don't know, but I do have a friend that says it. He was the first, and until this moment only, person I was aware of that says it.

I haven't heard anyone say turret. Everyone I know says turret. Perhaps the perhaps you were listening to has an odd accent?

When I was in the army there were a few people that would call it a turrent. But those people were all idiots.

Then again, we were all enlisted so we were all idiots.

I've never heard of the word turreNt before, neither spoken nor written. I've heard waRsh instead of wash, which is a bit jarring. Maybe the guy from E3 accidentally combined two similar sounding words that he frequently uses (like bit "torrent" and "turret") and blurted out turreNt. Maybe he slurred his words.

Where does the intrusive R come from in warsh?

That would be me. Dunno how long I kept mispronouncing and misspelling it as "turrent".

I always said "Missile Turrent", but that's because I played a lot of Starcraft.
