Have you noticed that a lot of people are having problems pronouncing "accessories" and "access"? I heard a guy on the radio yesterday pronounced them as "assessories" and "assess". And that was NPR!
I feel like we're on turbo drive into an Idiocracy future.

Why have so many Americans lost the ability to correctly pronounce the word "rural"? They pronounce it "ruul"!
You'd hope that when someone is commissioned to record an audiobook of a work by a living author they'd have the opportunity to consult about the pronunciations of names.
This one obviously didn't.
The mangled name occurs in the text 855 times and it's driving me mad.
In the last section of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" (1987), a sentence is introduced, repeated ("It was not a story to pass on") and then varied ("This is not a story to pass on"). I have always read this as a parodoxical call to not retell the story that has
