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?
Personally I don’t think acronyms like GIF have a “correct” pronunciation. A favorite pronunciation might emerge by consensus, but not by rules. Sure “graphical” might have a hard ‘g’, but if you spelled the acronym out you would say ‘jee eye eff’ because once detached from the word, that hard sound is lost. If there were an organization Christian American Charities and the acronym was CAC, would you pronounce it kak, chatch sass cass, or what?
