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?
“Height” does not end in an h. Over and over again by one narrator.
Length, breadth, depth, width and… Heighth?
Yeah, it’s linguistic assimilation, but in current English, height ends in \t\ not \θ\.

Unless you’re reading A Clockwork Orange!
What? Do they pronounce it as “th” at the end?
I said this on another thread and was roundly told it’s acshually a totally ok spelling and pronunciation.
I mean, I can accept it’s dialect but in an audiobook it’s unforgivable.
