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 guy, acronyms are pronounced however the person who invented them chooses to pronounce them. The person who invented GIFs uses a soft G. Unless you’re planning on pronouncing SCUBA sk-uh-ba (last A like in apple) to match “underwater” and “apparatus,” you’re in the wrong. It’s pronounced with a soft G, just like the peanut butter.
