Why can't the dumbass talking heads figure how to pronounce names of

[karlschneider]

countries? Some say nee-zhair, others ny-jer. Some say cut-ar, others
gutter. Potato/pototo...blah blah blah...
:grr:

1. Simple

Because there aint no such animal as a "News Anchor" anymore. They may look good, have perfect white teeth, big boobs, great taste in clothes, whatever but they don't know JACK about anything important. They just gotta read the freakin 'prompter.

:grr:

2. More disturbing is...

the inability to distinguish between "lose" and "loose" by (what appears to be) a substantial percent of the population (including several on THIS forum).

3. lose and loose story

I know somebody who got a tattoo, loser. Except it got spelled 'looser'. That really says it all, doesn't it?

6. Maybe he's looser than the next guy? n/t

:-)

7. Does he carry a MORAN sign around?

LOL
:D

4. That annoys me to no end.

I can tolerate most spelling/grammar errors, but when people say "loose" for "lose" it drives me crazy. x(

[trotsky]

5. Geez all of you just need to losen up...

;-)

Actually that's a pet peeve of mine too. (As is to/too and using apostrophe-S to indicate plural.)

8. You can complain about pronunciations. Just don't go nukular!

9. Don't be so tents
