I read once that instead of laughing, we should be in awe of people who say “Percy-phone, Hermy-own, Auntie-gon,Ireen , sim-Malay, hyper-bowl“etc because they have only encountered these words on the pages of books and it reflects the quality if their reading matter!!!
I remember, years ago, reading about a then Fellow of a Cambridge college who recounted how she had studied hard to sit Oxbridge Entrance, lacking parental and school support.
The interview was going swimmingly until they came to discussing German literature.
Then it became clear that the panel was completely thrown by her talking about Go-eeth
It transpired that she had only 'met' him in her private reading.
She was given a place...?
