Why can't people (especially newsreaders) pronounce certain words? "Vulnerable" for instance. It's not "vunerable" you morons. And don't get me started on "nuclear".

A good example of an individual that is a champion of mispronunciation is Al Sharpton .He is hilarious.

One of our local newsreaders actually pronounced "Newfoundland" and New-FOUND-land.

It often strikes me as ‘Archie Bunker speak,’ if it sounds close, and you know what they mean - it’s good enough 😕

Damn it. I read that four times and was sure I saw that missing "L" the first three.

Personally, I'm not familiar with that mispronunciation, but I hate hearing "could of" enunciated to clearly separate it into two words. Reading it is worse.

How well I remember. But let’s give the guy a break. He was just trying to put food on his family.
