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?
Why don’t more fantasy authors provide pronunciation guides for their “bespoke” words?
Like the one Robert Jordan so kindly provided at the end of each of “The Wheel of Time” books?
That seems like a recipe for disaster to me for narrators and their editors.
