that’s why broadcast careers start off in Bismarck and not in New York or Chicago.
I remember some of the newbies at my hometown tv station in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Some years ago one of the baby newsreaders was stumbling over the news, and he came to a certain word....yacht....which he had obviously never seen before. He stared at the word for a few seconds and then pronounced it YATCHED. I don’t recall him having a long career at the station.
