Love when I can pull this gem out
I prefer my food unrotten, thank you very much
I'm sure you've heard it pronounced "Sawyer" like Tom Sawyer which gets under my skin. I ain't no expert on Euro trash grammar but I just KNEW that wasn't right.
One that irks me is "In-tre-gal". How can you look at the spelling INTEGRAL and say it that way? Kinda like "Ambee-dextrious". If you can't pronounce ambidextrous then just say "ambi" and leave it at that.
Then there's Benny Johnson who makes great videos and has a good channel. But he pronounces nuclear "NUKE- ye-ler" which drives me nuts. I hope he's just making fun of George Bush but he does it so often I'm starting to wonder.
"Yah yah...das is gut... Now is ze time on Shprokets ven ve dance."
Sorry my age and SNL knowledge is showing here.
Now I'm no Eurotrash transplant, but I did take two years of German in High School. It is indeed not pronounced "sawyer". I think the rampant mispronunciation of words in foreign languages, not to mention words in the English language like the ones you mentioned, just makes Americans look even more uneducated. Too bad our education system is doing too much to help that.
