Or you can look up how to pronounce it. The IPA and often audio pronunciations aren't that hard to find, unless you speak a more obscure language

Let me drop this on fleek resource: www.forvo.com The Pronunciation Dictionary. Longtime user. Ya just search the word, and get results from people all over the world saying it in their native tongue with country specified. It's great. Hearing Americans say Gouda (a Dutch town famous for the cheese) is like taking a cheese grater to my balls. No, it is not "Goo-dah" of you. Repent!

Then can we force SciFi audiobook narrators to use it?

Ray Porter, I love you to fucking death, but you kill me sometimes....

Well...im my country there actually is :D You can call them, they are very nice and for bonus points you can also ask them about any questions you have regarding grammar rules and how you would correctly use them in you specific context

The news department in our national public television has such a service. They have a list of people they can call whenever needed. If e.g. a disaster happens in Eiuýrzbüicuzboßébeor city, they call a native speaker of that country to learn the correct pronunciation of the place or name for the news.

I've looked it up a bunch of times and I still don't know if potable is "POTE-ah-bull" or "POT-ah-bull"

Me listening to audiobooks, "he winded his way up the path". I always say winded like winding a spool of thread, but hear it told like deprived of air from the narrators...

Insert me saying C-hash to a programmer friend and promptly being roasted for the rest of the evening.

The first time I read the word "undetermined" was in Percy Jackson. I assumed it had some greek pronounciation to it. At some point I must have had to read it out loud in front of the class.

I pronounced it un-debtor-mind

Traumatic moment for preteen me

I mean, even if you're too lazy to pull out a dictionary, you can search online how to pronounce words.

I heard that in the US, every business needs to have a publicly listed phone number, not to mention the number of times I see "TEXT ... TO ..." or "CALL ..." displayed more prominently than the URL on ads. Why do they still do so much over the phone?

Better to corrected than let things get too awry.

Awry.
Awwww-reeeeeeeeeeee..........

For me, this was Ganymede.
