The mispronunciations in my current listen are mounting. Louis (as in Mountbatten)*. Monongahela. Cayuga. Coughlin. I can't remember them all. Sigh. I blame both the narrator, who clearly doesn't care when it's a proper name he's not seen before, and the director/producer/whoever's in charge of qc!
*And compounding this, the author gets Edwina's title wrong. In the 20's, she was Lady Louis, not Lady Mountbatten. And he even quotes a source who got it right! Did he not notice, or did he snicker to himself at the idiot...?
