Yeah it's like a Spaniard coming back from a weekend in England telling everyone they went to Man-chess-tah" with an accent like Kathy Burke as Perry.The Red Robin said:People who insist on pronouncing ‘ith’ referring to Spanish locations, I.e ‘Cad-ith’ rather than ‘Cadiz’ because they’ve been on holiday there once. Yes, I know it’s correct, but it annoys me.4 -

Me and one of my younglings at work were having this argument last week or maybe last month. They kept saying Barthelona as if they are Catalonian natives.

There was a commentator in a World Cup many years ago who kept calling Müller (the Brazilian player) “Mull-air”, apparently ignoring that the player called himself that in homage to the German great Gert Müller. Maybe they pronounce it like that in Brazil, but it was still annoying.iaitch said:

Then of course there was Ray Stubbs constantly calling Peter Ndlovu “Nd-luuuurve”. The bellend. I seem to remember Skinner and Baddiel ripped him for it on fantasy football and got him on to sing a song in the style of Barry White!
Commentators are generally such pricks. Describe the action and stop trying to convince us all how funny and intelligent you are.Remember commentators, you’re just a real life Alan Partridge - nobody is interested in your opinions and anything you say only makes people laugh at you, not with you.2 -
Rodriguez. Knobs insisting on always saying his first name James, but pronouncing it Hames to show their cultural awareness. Just call him Rodriguez FFS.lordromford said:

And closer to home, the switch by commentators, wherever they are from (including the South), to refer to Newcastle as New-Cassel.

There's a big chain of DIY stores across a lot of Europe (France, Spain and Portugal) called Leroy Merlin, but a lot of expats, including those who can't speak any French whatsoever, have taken to pronouncing it something like - Luh-rwah Mehr-lanh. Sounds so farkin stupid especially coming out of Kieth from Doncaster's mouth0

I remember when someone had clearly notified Jonathan Pearce (now of BBC, once of Capital Gold) of the local pronunciation of Zaragoza (as in Real Zaragoza). Went overnight from pronouncing it with the "Z"ds, to "Real Tharagotha". Sounded ridiculous.
No consistency either. If you're gonna do that then apply it across the board - "Barthelona, Balenthia, etc".0 -
The artist was looking for inspiration and then remembered what his art teaching told him at art college - "If ever you're stuck for subject matter, paint what comes from within".

Trying to open a couple of savings bonds with an online bank where I already have two accounts. I've already opened the app and logged in so why the F do you need me to submit a photo of my driving licence for each new account? Mind blowing!0
