Those of you who watched the unhinged and unfunny performance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the final night of the DNC probably caught the “clever” routine she delivered with Andrew Yang. The two of them took turns mispronouncing Vice President Mike Pence’s surname as some sort of takedown on the fact that he had previously mispronounced the first name of his opponent in the upcoming election, Senator Kamala Harris. While that got a few laughs from the liberal audience, some critics chose to read a lot more into the issue of Harris’ name, its origins, and how everyone is supposed to pronounce it.

Ho????
I’ll refrain
Too close to the election to get the Viking Kitty zot

The left could not pronounced my name no matter what, so they better not go ethnic on me!
Can I blame rampant misspelling of both my names along with a regular mispronunciation of my last name on Teutonophobia?
Although a proven fact thanks to public statements by Willie Brown about their adulterous affair, watch out.
Even Santa got in trouble when he said "Ho, Ho, Ho" when three women happened to be walking by.
Well we know what the proper spelling and pronunciation of her name should be, but I’ll refrain from saying it, though I’m sure her ex-lover Willie Brown called her that many, many times!
Its pronounced “Ho”.
Ohhhhh. Is that what that skit was about? Still wasn’t funny.
I am still waiting for the news media to learn how to correctly pronounce the word “candidate.” They always say “candiDIT.” December 7, 1941 is not a “dit” which lives in infamy. Those buffoons in the news media have a lot of nerve to criticize others for mispronunciations. They need to buy a copy of Webster’s dictionary and look at the pronunciation guide.
