Me listening to audiobooks, "he winded his way up the path". I always say winded like winding a spool of thread, but hear it told like deprived of air from the narrators...

Insert me saying C-hash to a programmer friend and promptly being roasted for the rest of the evening.
Sharp is a pretty dumb name for that symbol imo

Conversely, just fucking go for it. Who even cares? Have a laugh about it!
I think mispronouncing weird words you've worked into your vocab is a nice middle ground between sounding insufferable and approachable. Yes I used ameliorate but I also mangled the hell out of it, so how smart could I really be?
how did you say it? Amelly-or-ate?

Can you, though? Can you really?
A is for Alpha
B is for Balthazor
C is for Cappa
D is for Daphne
E is for Ether
F is for Alfalfa -
It’s called a dictionary, and they’ve been doing it for literally years at this point.
The pronunciation guide of a dictionary is pretty fuckin esoteric at this point.
I was educated in the 80s and they still didn't teach us how to pronounce words using the dictionary.

I dunno. People correcting me on this stuff like an asshole just give away what fucking assholes they are. Its one of many mechanisms that helps me cut past the bullshit and realize who is absolute fucking scum by the way they treat others.
Edit: Interesting how so much privilege is in here assuming no assholes exist and things don't happen. Try being disabled in any way in high school or certain workplaces. I have experienced it numerous times, and I've witnessed it done to others.
Uhh I mean sometimes people can correct you on things to help you out. It might help you avoid an embarrassing situation down the line. Not everyone is out to be an asshole

No no, let them live their life as a perpetual victim. They like it more. The idea of someone correcting out of kindness is foreign.

English needs a spelling reform badly. Like the whole point of writing is to put speech in writing. It makes no sense to have spelling be this detached from pronunciation.
busy should be bizy for example
English has the problem of taking words literally from other languages including the pronunciation.
Kindergarden - > German. The I gets pronounced differently.
Tibia - > Latin. Fuck who knows how it is pronounced, just do what you want.
Bureaucracy - > French. Yeah well the French hate people who want to learn their language, I guess. Nothing is written like it is pronounced

You call French inconsistent, I call you ignorant of its rules. They are many, they are complex, they don't make sense (but, surprisingly, languages don't ever make sense, they just are), but are for the most part consistent. Especially compared to English.
In French, "eau" is pronounced like "o". It's dumb. But it's always true. Meanwhile, the "i" in "alive" and "live" are pronounced differently for no good reason.

I believe that the person correcting you isn't the one with a problematic mindset

You don't need to. The Free Dictionary has buttons on every word that speak the word in either US or UK English

I had the misfortune of pronouncing rapping as raping in front of the class when I was 13

The I in alive and live are pronounced the same, but the I in alive and live are different. English is fascinating, but I do not envy those learning it as a second language.

Yes, it's obviously C-octothorp.
