Bert Weiss Mispronounces???

T

top16

I may be wrong, but in the promos for Tuesday's Bert Show on Q100, whenever Bert says Julianne Hough's name, he pronounces Hough "How" instead of "Huff." Is anyone else noticing this? Anyway, now that she's a country singer, isn't an interview with her on a Top 40 station out of place or is it okay since she was on "Dancing with the Stars"?
 
Yeah. Most people did not notice.
I don't know even who she is.
If she is to promote "Dancing With the Stars", any format is fine.
 
The ciorrect pronunciation of a proper name is however the personso named pronounces it. And it may well vary from idividual to individual.
 
If Bert can't correctly pronounce the name of a minor pop culture object how is he going to sound credible talking to a Jonas brother? Bert must go! His seven years of great ratings and community involvement in Atlanta have all been washed away due to this incident. Send him to Macon where he belongs.
 
Pete Van Weiren is known to go ask a player how to pronounce his name so h doesn't get it wrong. I guess that's why he's considered a profesional and a hall of famer.

Yes, but at least he kept his baby with Down Syndrome. He's got my vote.
 
You've got to be kidding with this post, right? I mean really you can't be serious.
You are kidding, right?
