No, not for a hurricane or anything like that. I'm talking about the announcer Bob Davies at the UT/LSU game. He kept mispronouncing Rick Clausen's name. I know his last name is "Davies" not "Davis", why can't he figure out Clausen's name? I mean, that's his job isn't it? Why didn't someone whisper in his ear the first time he said it wrong? It got very, very irritating by the end of the game. It's "Kla-sun" not "Klow-son".
Almost as irritating was Geraldo covering Rita when he talked about being at the Sabine Pass. He said "Sa-bine'" like it looks but it's pronounced "Suh-been". Surely someone on his staff knows how it's pronounced. Its not a big deal, but it makes you wonder about whether they did their homework on other things too.
That's the end of today's English lesson. Adios.
