There's the saying about how if someone mispronounces a word, it likely means they learned it by reading.
So I try not to get too uptight about this stuff. I remember when I first read 'clandestine' and my brain just assigned it 'candle-stine' as the pronunciation. And then there's just tons of accepted variations on some words as well.
But ya, I think FF7 contributed significantly to 'run the gambit' becoming so common in use.

Oh Mr Lahey, not another night of the shit abyss...
Yeah making fun of people for mispronouncing words is silly because you are just making fun of someone for reading more than people around them.
That's me! Read way more than I talked and so sounded very strange trying to say the new words I learned
I pronounced the "b" in subtle for years as a kid. Still looks like subtell to me
