Lol, yup. :P
I have something of an advantage, given that I do have a hearth in front of my fire place... :P

Hearth in WoW =/= Fireplace Hearth.
Therefore I demand that they be pronounced differently! Who's with me?

No, the meaning of Hearth stays the same in both cases. A hearth is where your home is, so a hearthstone takes you to your home.
I simply cannot believe that people don't know how to pronounce some words in this game.

We also need to go on a crusade to teach people Rouge =/= Rogue...
Rouge = Red
Rogue = sneaky backstabbing thief

One thing is knowing how to pronounce something, another is doing it. I personally simply cannot wrap my tongue around the word hearthstone, so I just say heartstone instead. I know it's wrong, but it's way faster and doesn't make my accent unbearably obvious.

It surprises me how many mispronounce hearth. It's not exactly an obscure word.

True story. I've actually never heard someone say it correctly the whole time I've played. For a while I though that
I
was the one that had it wrong this whole time. Looks like I didn't!

I only recently found I've been incorrectly pronouncing this word:
Apparently, it's re-AGE-ent, not REE-gent. Who knew? About 99% of people I know mispronounce this word, too.

No, but it is difficult for many non-native English speakers to pronounce. As far as I know, the majority of WoW players do not have English as their native language. Expecting non-native speakers to pronounce difficult English words flawlessly is absurd.
