Totally me. I’ve read far more than I’ll ever hear. And I’m terrible at pronouncing things correctly because it’s almost pure visual memory.

Also, to be fair, some words are just plain pronounced wrong.

Hyperbole

Epitome

Worcestershire

They break the phonetic rules of the language and you're kind of expected to memorize it and get on with it.
