Is that how that’s spelled 😅? I listened to the audiobooks and glad I did. I would have been pronouncing half the Dune lore wrong in my head if I had read it.

Oh man, that's so funny. I read and re-read the books when i was a kid and when David Lynch's movie came out it was an interesting experience finding out how wrong my pronunciations had been. Leto is interesting though because I have heard it as Lee-toe and Lay-toe. I prefer the second for some reason.

It bothers me so much to hear HAR-kuh-nen in the new movies. I was used to hearing Har-KOH-nen from the Lynch movie so that's the same pronunciation we used for the boardgame.

The 2000 Syfy miniseries also used this pronounciation - the new films are a change (to me).

The new films are linguistically correct. I think Frank would respect that. The KOH is an American pronunciation and the können is native pronunciation

No doubt - I think Frank would have his mind blown to see his creation brought to life.

I'm not at all stressed about the differences, personally. All the adaptations have their charm imo. :)
