As someone whose contact with English is mostly by reading, this made me sure I'm likely pronouncing a bunch of words wrong in my mind.

As someone who didn't their formative years reading a lot more than taking, I also certainly pronounce a bunch of words wrong. It's always the pretentious ones, too, like pretentious, because people so rarely use them in speech.
