A tip for TSN

I was listening to the Mesquite station KEOM this afternoon and heard a mispronunciation that just drives me up the wall! They were broadcasting the news from TSN, and the anchor (Barbra Schwartz, I think) mispronounced negotiators. She said “ne-go-see-ators". Barbra, it is “ne-go-she-ators”. There’s no C in the word.

Maybe if it were "negotiations", "nee-go-see-A-shuns" would be passable. But I know what you mean. Kinda like the people who insist on saying "SHED-uhl" for "schedule." Supposedly that's the British pronuniciation, but, last time I checked, we're living in Meximerica.
 
I can think of a fairly famous former DFW morning show host who also uses that pronunciation.

Rule #1 - when in doubt, small words are better. :)

I know Barbara and I think she is from way up north. She's a very capable news reporter/anchor. Maybe that's the way they pronounce it up north or maybe she just made a mistake.

She always pronounces it that way, at least every time I've heard her use that word.

A word that gets misspronounced all the time is:

"association"

Thank you for stating the obvious-- it is proper for both pronounciations to be used... the way Barbara uses it, is more of OLD ENGLISH... (as someone stated from up East) I had a former PD here in Dallas use that same pronounciation, it is no different than the word Schedule-- listen to the way the British say it and the way we say it-- both are acceptable... I once got in trouble for spelling the word COLOR-- spelling it COLOUR-- both are correct... they are in the dictionary... so we will have to live with it

Just like the word "Catalog"The english spell it "Catalogue". Regional accents are acceptable,especially in our business. We have country accents, tex-mex accents,Northern accents, Southern accents . It doesn't really matter unless you are a self imposed English professor,as long as the listener knows what the hell you are talking about.

So would this be the equivalent to the constant (5+ years) use of "nucular"?
