Say It Ain't So
People (including yours truly) are annoyed by Bush's mispronunciation of "nuclear." Well, he ain't the only one. Lou Dobbs just pronounced "de rigeur" as "duh RIGG-er." Only on national television (Moneyline.) Doesn't anybody read the script first? Aaghh, or whatever Snoopy says. Or is it Charley Brown? There. I'm one of them. I'll bet the Canadian guest was horrified. Even if he didn't live in Quebec.

At least the word "nuclear" is english--you'd expect the president of an english-speaking nation to prounounce it correctly.
Anyone can make a mistake with one of those french words--merde!
This morning on NPR, of all places, the announcer said that something had run the "ga-MUT".
ga-MUT? ga-MUT? Holy cow! Gamut is just not that hard a word to pronounce.
You spelled Charlie Brown's name wrong!!!!
The irony!!!
Charlie Brown says "aaagh." But you can pronounce it anyway you want.
