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?

    The dude just had so many weird takes. Catelyn was bad, Gilly was bad, Jaime lost his accent midway through the series. Barristan and Drogo sounded like doddering old me.
