My perennial question. Mispronunciations should scream for attention and if the director doesn’t know how ordinary words are pronounced and isn’t willing to vet words they don’t know, then they shouldn’t be producing audiobooks. Talk about the Peter Principle.

I remember once reading an article about why audiobooks were better than print books* and one of the reasons was that you found out how to pronounce difficult words. Hah bloody hah, was my reaction to that!

*Audiobooks are different from print books. I don’t know why people in either camp think it’s a contest.
