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?
In Anna Faris’s autobiography she pronounced “short lived” as “LIVEd”. Weirded me out.
Short lived is actually what it is. We say it short livved, but the phrase is referring to something with a short life. It’s acceptable to say it with the hard I.
