we talk funny at the ceeb says:

probably the same person who told us to pronounce pedophile, pee-do-file (just like the ped in pediatrician).

i’m all for correct pronounciation, but seriously, if we’re the only outlet sounding like this, then what is the point?

Denis McGrath says:

does anyone remember the SNL sketch from years ago where people over-pronounced spanish sounding place names, so that “NeeeekaaRAGGGWAAA” sounded like a machine gun?

Man, that was a funny sketch.

People need to chillllll.

Phil Evans says:

I also like the pronunciation of the nation’s capital on The National -
Owe-toe-wah.

Allan says:

That’s some audience, if that’s the best comment.

John Jacobson says:

Nothing tops Chretien’s referral to the The Third World… (The Turd World)!

Chip says:

What I want to know is, why does everyone on CBC radio, without exception, say “shedule”?

Lorraine says:

That’s not an incorrect pronunciation.

However I would love to know why the CTV folks pronounce it SEE TEE VEY.
