@adhdeanasl Did you ever watch The Thorn Birds? I remember it as a big, expensive mini-series in the 80s.
Anyway, in that show the folks talk about 'Drogheda' (a place in Ireland about 90 miles from where I type this), and they all, ALL, mispronounce it. They really mangle it! I get that it looks hard to pronounce - wouldn't they get someone to check? Nope.
So yes, a consistent mispronunciation can be very irritating. So much so that you ramble at other internet folks about it 40 years later!
