    Special Welsh edition

    When English people pronounce:

    Betws-y-Coed as "Betsy Coe-Ed"
    Llanelli as "Lanelly" or (if they're trying really hard) "Clanecly"
    Machynlleth as "Merk eye-un luth"
    Bangor as "Banger"
    Heddlu as "Head Loo"
    Araf as "A raff"

    More to come.

    I hate it when people pronounce Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch as "oh bloody smurfing hell, Wales".

    English people are the worst.

    Nah, I've never mentioned that it annoys me. Sometimes the 'd' gets thrown back in there as well (heyo). So it turns into sangdwich. Equally annoying.

    Back when Dragon Ball Z aired on Cartoon Network in the UK (at least), the announcer seemed incapable of pronouncing "Saiyan" and "Saiyaman" correctly, saying "Sigh-Ann" and "Sigh-Ya-Man" respectively. I know they are made up words, but I couldn't help but notice it, being a fan. It just showed that the announcer didn't watch the show he was introducing, and must have been reading his introductions from a script, which just seems silly to me (at least check you're pronouncing the in show word correctly).

    That he was reading from a script because it was an actor reading for a character.

    It was a joke.

    (ba dum tsss)

    It wasn't a character though, it was the announcer on the channel - the "Coming up next..." guy.
