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?
I’m more annoyed about bad accents. For God’s sake, if you can’t do an accent well, don’t do it. And if it’s a non English accent, you most likely just sound racist (looking at you “Garden of Evening Mists” narrator)
I DNF’d aufiobooks and given 1* reviews over this and will do it again.
I could do the Gaijin by Clavell audio book for this reason! The narrator’s “Japanese” accent was just awful.
