What is going on here?
I have no idea.
I think it’s a common mispronunciation. It’s not like it’s remotely obvious from the spelling and you might well never connect hearing people say it with seeing it written down.
That said, how fucking awkward would that conversation be?
Notifications seem to be broken, you fucking chump.
Well fix them then!

Doesn’t even rhyme.
OR DOES IT?
It’s working now you peen.
I used to say epitome as “eppy-tome” and it was really embarrassing.
Cheers, mate.
Me-ga-pee-noid.
Was it the epitome of embarrassment do you think?
In my head I still read it as eppy-tome
Yeah I know the feeling - still have it a bit for hyperbole.
I think for the first 2 decades of my life when I read anxiety my brain wanted to say ‘anexity’. Guess I’d misread it as a nipper and it got lodged there.
A lot of people mispronounce Jaime Lannister name incorrectly from GoT.
When I read the books (not watched the TV show, +5 indie points), I always pronounced it J’aime in my head. Then after the TV show came out everyone started saying Jamie. Which it obviously isn’t.
Makes me laugh when people say ‘pronounciation’.
Fucking idiots.
