      The DM for Critical Role did that in one of the early episodes. I think that if you’re making a podcast, you should check your words for pronunciation.

        How are you going to bring up early CR Matthew Mercer without his most infamous pronunciation gaffe?

        Sigil* as “siggle”. If I were at that table, I’d still be ribbing him about it (good-naturedly, of course).

      I learned chitin from playing Morrowind. Pronounced it like “chit in” (like in “chip”). But also my local dialect/accent tends to drop pronouncing t’s so it came out more like “chi’in”. To this day it’s an active effort to pronounce it correctly if I ever have to say it out loud

        Okay, so I’ve just realised I’ve been pronouncing this wrong.

        So I’ve been pronouncing it “chit in”, probably as above - perhaps halfway between “chicken” and “shit in”.

        Apparently it’s pronounced “kite in”.

        Not that it’s a word that crops up too much, but I’ve almost certainly made other people say it wrong too :(
