Bold of you to trust the performer knows how to say the words.

A decent performer will likely verify words they're unfamiliar with. If it's being read by the book's author it's anybody's guess.

I don't know how many times I've heard professional audiobook readers say casualty instead of causality. They might have a higher hit rate, but not 100%.

Those are just causality casualties then. I've had good luck with performers, but it may depend what you're reading interest is
