In the royal tradition of taking a word / a name / a brand, reading it and beating it into a pink pulp upon pronunciation, we have ALL become great fans of how Dave can pull just about any word out there through his pronunciation-blender and ending up with something totally different.
So lets keep score shall we ? whoever hears one ... posts it here, along with the phonetic CORRECT way of pronouncing the word .. and with a description of what Dave turned it into.
One of my favourites is Dave trying to say Captcha. It comes out something like caparture.
I am glad they don't have audio players on the forum... gee thanks guys...
There is always Kaspersky. I'm not sure Dave has got that one right yet.
Nope, and the weird thing is that I can say it all through pre-production and in general conversation perfectly... During the podcast NOPE! Beats me why my brain melts down
I dont really notice them. Maybe because almost everyone I know has some weird accent. I guess I giggle sometimes. I think dave is just fond of adding "r" to words.
"R" is just a bad sound. There's no consistency in the pronunciation.
For real : Kaspersky
Prounounce : kas (as in castle) per (as in perth) sky (as in the thing you do on snow)
Davidian : KaZzzPErAZKi (foneticly un-translatable)
Nightwise I am sure you mean Ski, not sky....
flame flame
I will not respond to that provocation :)
Well if we're keeping score there were about a hundred mentions of something called EA Arts in #005. And the Interflora Lefora or whatever... :)
I am wondering though especially now that Keith is editing it - do Keith and Cait not mess up at all, or do they just not make the blooper reel?
One of my favourites is "cache", though I suspect it's not a mispronunciation so much as the Aussie accent that causes Dave to say "cayshe"... ;)
And I'm not really picking on Dave, much, I try to select the screwups that will be funniest. Most of mine are me getting lost in a sentence resulting in dead air... not much fun to listen to.
Cait's thing is a long uhhhh... at the beginning of a thought. :P
Keith , you are just picking on dave to cover your own arse !
@KW Of Course! What kind of geek would I be if I didn't take advantage of my temporary position of "God of the Show"?! :P
