I mean, people pronounce things a lot of different ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-476356 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:40:01 +0000 MrsTiz 476356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I live in NC and we say "wa-dur" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-476335 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:26:51 +0000 Cupcake 476335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: where I live most people pronounce water, woooder. Lol, silly Philadelphians. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-476146 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:56:34 +0000 Mrsbells 476146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of people dont pronounce the T in water.. atleast all the people I know. Only my british friends really pronouce that T clearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475716 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:44:00 +0000 ladyfingers 475716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, as an aside -- who doesn't pronounce the "t" in water?? I've never heard that before... what do they just say, "wa'er"?</p> <p>My opinion is, not robbed. She didn't enunciate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475489 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:46:26 +0000 Bao 475489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrbee, they definitely should have asked her to repeat her answer. Clearly, she knew the correct answer and I don't think it's fair she lost because of something so silly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475485 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:43:53 +0000 BananaPancakes 475485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally robbed. @mrbee: I agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475473 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:39:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 475473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I agrees he obviously knew the word. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475471 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:38:37 +0000 Adira 475471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think what makes it extra ridiculous is that she had just asked for the 'G' so she obviously KNEW that it was there. I don't know why they are being so picky about this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475444 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:29:30 +0000 littlebug 475444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I think that's kind of outrageous. I mean, if they're going to be that uptight about it, then no one from Philadelphia should ever win for the word "water," because they say it "wooder." No one from Pittsburgh should win for "downtown," because they say it "dahntahn." You could name hundreds of other things just like that. I mean, come on, WOF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475390 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:07:31 +0000 Reese 475390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Me too. It was so awkward to have the person beside her repeat the exact same thing.Giving her a chance to repeat would have been ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475384 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:05:02 +0000 mrbee 475384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they should have asked her to say the answer one more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475372 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:01:29 +0000 Beebug 475372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saw the episode.</p> <p>When it's a game of letters and words, the correct enunciation is important, I think it was a fair call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475369 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:59:53 +0000 Reese 475369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched it and I agree she was robbed. Pat Sajak annoys me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475325 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:46:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 475325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am from that part of Florida and there isn't that much of an accent there. She should have known to enunciate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wheel-of-fortune-mispronounciation#post-475312 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:42:36 +0000 Mrsbells 475312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you guys hear about the lady that lost her win because she pronounce seven swans a swimming without the G at the end. Do you agree with this?</p> <p>I feel like she was robbed. I've watched wheel of fortune many times and lots of different people with different accetns come on, and I've heard people leave out the T sound at the end of works before, just like a lot of americans dont pronounce the T in water.<br /> <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/12/renee-durette-wheel-of-fortune-contestant-loses-chance-at-prize-after-mispronouncing-word/" rel="nofollow">http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/12/renee-durette-wheel-of-fortune-contestant-loses-chance-at-prize-after-mispronouncing-word/</a> </p>
