      On startup, the client says "Press 'enter' to enable the Narrator". At least in US English, the word "narrator" is not pronounced correctly. It says "ˈn ä r-ˌā-tər ", using the wrong initial 'a' sound, it should be "ˈn e r-ˌā-tər ". (That is, it uses the same first sound as in "noggin", rather the one for "ne'er").

      You can see Websters https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/narrator to check on me. They have a button to pronounce the word, compare it to Minecraft's.

      This seems like an especially bad place for a mispronunciation.[ |https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/narrator?pronunciation&lang=en_us&dir=n&file=narrat03]
