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?
The first Murderbot book, at the end there is a scene where someone has tears (rips) in her uniform, and the narrator says it like crying tears. Irritates me every time I listen to the audiobook.
I always hear winding, like a winding road, pronounced win-dng instead of whined-ing. I hate it every time.
