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?
This is what bugs me about a lot of narrated books like this. Where the fuck is the editor?
I don’t expect a narrator to be perfect and there are lots of words I’ve read but never spoken, so I’m sure I’d get them wrong too…but how does it get through the people whose job it is to edit?
