Kicker: Mispronounced words

PAUL BUTLER, HOST: Well, working in radio, difficult to pronounce words and names are the bane of our existence. And I must confess, we’ve made our share of pronunciation mistakes over the years. But at least we’re not alone!

The Captioning Group has compiled a list of some of the most commonly mispronounced names. Take the following sentence …

“Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa explained the significance of the Chicxulub impact crater to actor Domhnall Gleeson over a drink of negroni sbagliato in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia.”

That’s the kind of sentence that just might tie your tongue up in knots. It contains five examples from this year’s list of the most mispronounced words.

BROWN: Not bad Paul, but boy, I’m glad you said it…

BUTLER: Next time, it’ll be your turn.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
