    The worst is when you read a book or series when you’re young and pronounce it in your mind one way. Then they make a movie or something and it’s pronounced very different, and you end up just staying mad about it every time you hear the other version.

      Hogfather.

      Teatime.

      Pronounced:

      “Teh AH tim eh.”

      Terry took the time to type that.

      The actor in the movie? (Marc Warren)

      “Tee a TIME ay”

      He and the movie are otherwise quite good, Michelle Dockery is excellent, but it irks me.

      I was like this with ‘aes sedai’ in Wheel of Time. Apparently the ‘aes’ is meant to be pronounced as “eyez”, but for me it’s “ace” 🤷
