Helpful to read along, lots of mispronunciations, though

This is helpful to make the reading of this novella easier, and I listened beginning to end, but the constant mispronunciations undermine the quality immensely. I am a doctoral student and wouldn't be able to use this as a teaching tool because many of the important words are pronounced very incorrectly. Among the errors:
pernicious (narrator pronounced "pernickious")
corps (narrator pronounced "corpse")
grimy (narrator pronounced "grimmy")
ignominiously ("ignominously")
constituents
mulish ("mullish")
inveteracy
friendlessness ("friendliness")
perverseness ("perversiveness")
efficacy
A number of words were left out altogether. Still, a bold and impressive effort!
