My worst example was the word GIF pronounced like the peanut butter instead of properly as in Graphical. It’s worse because Amanda Montell was writing a linguistics book about the history of language and words.
Recent example was “eschew” which is pronounced Eh-shoo but the narrator said “Eskew” and it confused me so much I had to Google it to make sure I hadn’t been saying it wrong my whole life. What exmaples have you found?
Ugh, yes. Wil Wheaton is terrible about this. I listened to the Ready Player One sequel (do not recommend) and he mispronounced at least a dozen words throughout the book. He did the same in his rendition of The Martian, but thankfully I found the better version without him.
