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?
I’ve had several recently, unfortunately, and it drives me nuts.
A character’s name (a horse) named Deimos. Pronounced by the narrator Die-mos, not Dee-mos. This was constant and had me yelling at the narrator regularly.
There was something that was a character’s forte in another book. Pronounced fort, not four-the.
There was another, but I can’t remember it at the moment.
On the other hand, I’ve had some narrators pronounce words correctly that I’ve only ever read and I was doing it completely wrong. Bivouac is one that comes to mind.
