Thanks; that's really interesting. So the 40+ hour book I'm listening to might have taken 250 man-hours to produce.

I think it's often because the people involved have no idea they're mispronouncing. I listened to one book in which the narrator repeatedly pronounced Black Maria as Black Mah-ree-ah rather than Black Mah-rye-ah. If they'd never heard the term, why would they realize it has an unexpected pronunciation?
