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 cannot say some words right even though I know how they should be spoken because I read them for far too long beforehand. Like inventory.
Wait that one’s interesting, how do you say it?
I usually remember once I find out how a word is pronounced, I was pretty shocked by “piton”, I said that wrong for over 20 years before I finally heard it said correctly.
