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?
Yes! In NOS4A2 Kate Mulgrew mispronounces Haverhill (a town in Massachusetts) repeatedly. It was incredibly annoying.
I went to a book signing where another person asked him about the mispronunciation and he seemed have no clue the city name was being said wrong or he failed to listen to past the first 10 minutes.
