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?
They pronounced it correctly…but it’s still annoying. We have collectively agreed to call it a gif, not a jif, irregardless of the creators intentions.
In case you’re wondering, yes, I used “irregardless” as a nerdy joke. I feel like people who subscribe a books reddit would be into it.
