Best go back and read again, cause achilles is pronounced a sheelz in that book. Cant member if he corrects ender or if it’s just mentioned in the narration, but yeah :p

Just meant when you read a book, you’re allowed to interpret words, visuals, etc in your own way. Maybe the “correct” way is one way, but when you read… it’s whatever you want.

Ah sorry, i fired off too soon. Read the first sentence and skimmed past. My b, friend! I would say that while personally reading something there is no right or wrong way to pronounce things, but the movie by most metrics didn’t get it wrong, as the book states how the author intended the name to be pronounced and had some reasoning behind it. But on the other side, fuck noted homophobe religious wierdo orsen scott card. So like, 6 of 1, half dozen other etc.
