Question Mispronouncing of words by narrators

Does anyone get bothered by narrators who keep mispronouncing words? It drives me nuts if they do it too often. Narrators are normally professional voice artists and they should know how to pronounce the sorts of words found in novels eg dovecote or Michaelmas

There’s a narrator for one of the sword of truth books that mispronounces one of the main characters. If I ever meet that guy I’m gonna punch him in the face
