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?
My mum’s listening to a book at the moment, & she understandably can’t get over that the narrator pronounced Poirot as Porrot 🤦🏻♀️
My internal narration usually just goes with POI-rot.
The inspector? He’s FRENCH
Mon dieu non! The man is Belgian!
Is it from LibriVox by chance? They’re doing the Lord’s work but some of those recordings’ll make your ears bleed.
David Suchet and Hugh Fraser are the only narrators I listen to when it comes to Agatha Christie books
