TIL: I've been mispronouncing archivist.

Posted by TWuG May 16 '23, 19:23

It's ark-eye-val, but ark-ih-vist.

It's also odd that I'd never hear archivist said aloud before today, apparently.

Responses:

as mispronunciations go, that doesn't seem egregious -- nm - Beryllium May 16, 19:27 2
- It's not, but it's yet another way in which English is confounding. - TWuG May 16, 19:34 1
  - archivist is probably closer to the etymological pronunciation. looks like greek root through french to english. - mafic May 16, 19:40
