PRONUNCIATION NOTE FOR MISCHIEVOUS
The word mischievous has three syllables, mis-chie-vous,
with the stress on the first syllable: [mis-chuh-vuhs].
There is a common tendency to shift the stress to the second syllable and say or write the word as if there were an extra letter i after the v,
turning it into a four-syllable word: [mis-chee-vee-uhs].
These alterations of the pronunciation (and sometimes even the spelling) may occur in part because in many English words
ie is pronounced like ee,
as in chief, in part because many words end with [-ee-uhs], spelled either -ious
(as in devious ) or -eous (as in aqueous ),
and in part because of confusion over where the second i in the word belongs.
The Oxford English Dictionary reports that for some time
in the evolution of the word—from about the sixteenth to the eighteenth century
— mischievious wasactually a fairly standard alternative spelling.
Today, however,
both the four-syllable spelling and the four-syllable pronunciation are generally regarded asnonstandard.

Mischievous vs. Mischievious: Usage Guide
A pronunciation \mis-ˈchē-vē-əs\ and a consequent spelling mischievious are of long standing:
evidence for the spelling goes back to the 16th century.
Our pronunciation files contain modern attestations ranging from dialect speakers to Herbert Hoover.
But both the pronunciation and the spelling are still considered nonstandard.
Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary,
mis′chie•vous•ly, adv.
mis′chie•vous•ness, n.
pron:
The pronunciation of mischievous as (mɪsˈtʃi vi əs)
is usually considered nonstandard,
although a spelling mischievious, which reflects this pronunciation,
had some currency between the 16th and 19th centuries.
