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?
Not a word, but a name: Juniper (from Wise Child by Monica Furlong). Narrator made it rhyme with viper. Ruined the whole experience.
That’s the correct pronunciation. You Yanks pronounce it fucking weirdly.
