This is why I pronounce Graham as “Gray-ham” instead of “Gram”

kellyoxford:

PHENOMENON: When you read more than you speak, often you don’t pronounce the words properly in your mind when you read (see:lazy). So what you end up with is a new 2 second lag before you figure out how to say certain non phonetic words you lazily read incorrectly all of the time.
Example: ‘Yosemite’ You know how to say it, and if someone said it to you, you could spell it… but on-your-own-as-it-comes-to-mind, you revert to how you lazily read it YOSE-MITE.
