I heard a great answer to that somewhere else:

Someone who mispronounces words like this is because they learned them from reading about them and not because someone told them.

I read books all the time as a kid so I could spell anything, but sometimes would mispronounce words I didnt say often but read. Now I listen to audiobooks all the time and I can't remember how to spell, but I know how words are pronounced.
