Social studies teacher in high school dinged me 5 points for pronouncing epitome as epi-tome. Ended up with 95/100 but it’s the principle of the matter.
I don’t agree with that decision. Unless you had been specifically taught the proper pronunciation previously and still mispronounced it, the teacher should have just corrected you and moved on.
Does he say “chaos” with a soft “ch” as well?
My roommate in college did that. Drove me nuts, but the worst was that he rhymed “epitome” with “tome.”

No, his chaos is thankfully chaos. It would be kind of fitting if it weren’t, though.
