I did make up my own pronunciation, if that's what you mean.
- godelski 7y agoAs a native English speaker who read a lot as a kid, there are many words I've found as I got older that I was pronouncing entirely incorrectly. So I think this is quite common (I know several others like this)
- SamPatt 7y agoYes very common among people considered "bookworms" as children. Learning vocabulary through reading not hearing. Can sometimes be embarrassing but it's better to know what a word means and pronounce it wrong than to not know the meaning at all.
