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?
Years ago, I listened to a book narrated by David Ogden Stiers (Major Charles Emerson Winchester III). He did a really good job, except he kept pronouncing the North Dakota city of Minot (MY-not) as Mee-noh, which is probably something close to the proper French pronunciation, but to a midwesterner it is very jarring.
And on an episode of Cheers, they kept calling the capital of South Dakota, Pierre (PIER), as pee-AYR, like the French man’s name.
