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?
Reminds me of the character ‘Lady Dimitrescu’ from Resident Evil Village. It was written out for months and when it was finally officially pronounced for the first time people complained because it looks like a Romanian name, but apparently it’s pronounced like ‘Domitresk’ or something like it. The writers told the complainers to fuck off and now it is what it is.
