This reminds me of the embarrassment I had as a young reader with a much larger sight vocabulary compared with my speaking vocabulary. I still don't really know how to pronounce Persephone because I got caught saying it wrong, and now can't remember which was the mistake and which was is correct. As an adult I get around it by saying 'you know, the wife of Hades?' - luckily it doesn't come up in conversation that often!
