What about words that everybody pronounces wrong, such as “nougat”? No, it’s not “new-git”, it’s “new-gah”. I even heard “nugget” from somebody not long ago.

In French, sure. But unless you also talk about the national budzhay, you get that loan words can have different pronunciations.
I pronounce "pecan" pea-kahn unless it's a pea-can pie.

Scone.
Could build this pretty easily with TTS and a dictionary.
There are youtube channels dedicated to that.
Maybe you can do with GPT voice. No?
I dunno. People correcting me on this stuff like an asshole just give away what fucking assholes they are. Its one of many mechanisms that helps me cut past the bullshit and realize who is absolute fucking scum by the way they treat others.
Edit: Interesting how so much privilege is in here assuming no assholes exist and things don't happen. Try being disabled in any way in high school or certain workplaces. I have experienced it numerous times, and I've witnessed it done to others.
