====Usage notes====
The spelling "misch(i)evious" and similar ones can be found since the 16th century, so the corresponding pronunciation is at least as old. But despite being common in a wide range of social classes today, these spellings and the corresponding pronunciation are still considered nonstandard and often viewed as incorrect.

* {{sense|badly-behaved}} {{l|en|badly-behaved}}, {{l|en|naughty}}
