I know the history and what not. But since his family messed up the pronunciation, why are we still using the wrong way to say it?

I know that’s how people pronounce it. I’m asking why nobody realizes that they’re wrong when they do so.

But I thought maybe it originated with Hawthorne and something he misheard.

It looks like the family said “we called him Alec!!” and so they started using it. So because the family screwed it up, they had to honor it lol

I’m still confused why that poster would say that lol. “You could spell it rock and pronounce it truck and that’s just how things work”
Like, WUT lol
