Schiaparelli was almost understandable, but the constant mispronunciations of Emollient were crazy making.
But by far the worst has been Brigand. If I hear one more HRTV or TVG talking head say "Brig AND" I am going to scream! Thank goodness for Tom Durkin. He is the only, and I repeat ONLY one who has pronounced his name correctly over the years.
So just in case anyone from those media outlets reads these boards, it's pronounced BRIG'nd, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
End of rant. :

Aaron and Jeff on HRTV just called "Chamois" "sham wah," which if you're using the customary French pronunciation is correct, but if you're referring to the hide used to wipe of your car is not. It's "shammy."7

How many times did Tom Durkin call the 2009 HOY "Rachel Alexander"?
