Another CNN breaking story on Trump. ;/
I'm biased towards Trump, because funny thing is, I know it's Namibia, but I actually make fun of myself a lot because whenever I read it, or when I say it (not that it comes up in conversations a lot) half the time I end up reading it as, or saying "Nambia" too. Just how my brain (mis)processes it.
It ought to be pretty obvious that Trump just mispronounced Namibia, but CNN had to list "...all the other nations he could have been referring to". Again, ;/

I still always say "leye`-buh-rerry" as a perverse hang over from my mother correcting me all the time.
Same thing with "Feb-you-ary."
I soit'ny know better.

I don't even bother to try on that one, which is an issue since that's where the Cheetah Conservation group started with their Anatolian Shepherd program.

I wonder if the same people trashing his pronunciation of "Namibia" are same ill-read folks that had to look up "dotard."

I laughed when I saw that on Twitchy. It was apparently a new word to a majority of the blue check mark geniuses. Public education these days...

Not a proud moment for our country, when a spox for North Korea, of all places, casually tosses out a not-terribly-obscure English word, and the whole world hears us flipping through the dictionary.

Not to mention that so many of the dictionary flippers were complimenting the guy who said it -- murders, torture, sex slaves and all. That people are saying positive things about the midget in relation to Trump may actually be peak TDS.

Is that next door to Pambia?
