And palimpsest.
I’ve seen those words, as printed words, most of my literate life. But I have only heard them pronounced this week. Not what I expected. One of those "I was today years old" things.
From a librivox recording. A Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez, and Kristin Hughes is a wonderful podcast narrator. Very crisp and precise reading voice.
And taking joy in the language. On today, an Irish holiday. A nation with a plethora of people that also revel in the written word.
But I use these, myself, for reading. I thought I had them in a 0.5 diopters correction, but the lowest they sell now is 1.0. Nooz.

Careful learning pronunciation from actors.
Cyclic isn't pronounced "sick-lick" and cache isn't pronounced like cachet, but you will find several instances of dancing monkeys getting it wrong.
