More of a grammar annoyance, but audio book

[Anonymous]

Generally enjoying an audio book, but the narrator is pronouncing (or maybe the author wrote) the plural possessive of parent as “parents es “. It can be parents’ or mayyyyyybe parents’s, but would you pronounce it so emphatically “s es”????????

Sometimes a narrator’s weird pronunciation or accent can ruin a book. I just listened to one where the voice of the villain grated on my nerves so badly. It was very high pitched and nasally, ugh.

Dial up the speed. It won’t be as noticeable.

This is a good idea. I'm currently listening to For All the Tea in China (Sarah Rose) on Kobo, which is fascinating, but the author's pronunciation of roots ("ruts") and the way she tries to voice dialogue are driving me nuts.

That's actually a pronunciation issue, not a grammar issue, OP.
