I have a similar issue but it comes from a childhood of heavy reading but not understanding how dictionary pronunciations worked. So I ended up making a lot of mistakes on how certain words I read were pronounced. My parents were not well read people and they didn’t use those kind of words in common speech. Color me shocked when I got to college and people would laugh at how I said words like “subsequently” which I would pronounce with emphasis on it being derived from “sequence” so I pronounced the second half of the word like the word sequence… which is not correct. I still mispronounce a lot of words like that regularly.
I had the same thing for a while when I was little, so I can relate hehe. I remember getting a dictionary for my birthday because I had a phase where I was into books. No worries!
