If you want to right a wrong in local media, hunt down the person responsible for letting the local commercials blare much louder than the network ones during Planet Earth 'cause it really pisses me off.

It's definitely spelled pronounced, not prononced.

LOL...and OOPS

I make lots of mistakes - but they bug the heck out of me when I do, especially when they're in written text. I post on several other message boards and write articles for herdnation.com and I try to read through things a number of times before letting anyone else see them. If a mistake eludes me and makes it onto a site I'm really pissed at myself.

Anyone can make a mistake at any time. My point was: once it was made what is the reason it lived on week after week? Was it not noticed? Was it not worth the effort to correct? Was it noticed and nobody cared?

Where it happened wasn't important, as it could happen anywhere. I just wondered why something like that continued. A former boss at WHEZ-FM once told me 'dead air is better than dumb air' and I guess my ears perk up when I hear mistakes.

My first radio experience was at WDUB-FM at Denison U. I taught the kids from Northern Ohio how to pronounce Gallipolis and Scioto and they taught me how to pronounce Geauga and Ashtabula.

It was amazing how many things got mispronounced even though I knew there was a phonetic pronunciation right there in the UPI copy.

You're missin' out.

couldn't that argument work for parachute pants too???

long term-i know people that still wore them well into the 90's
true-mass appeal-my mom owned parachute pants
brings the whole family together-see above mass appeal reference, and of course we had parachute pant discussions over dinner
incorporates several real trends-well, first of all this whole wearing pants trend is way over-played. then the zipper trend, and the comfot trend...

The whole "Gallipolis" thing gets me. I was always told it was pronounced "gall uh pu leece"..that's the way it was pronounced on TV and that's the way I was told to pronounce it when I was at Marshall. But then in 1991 when I went to work there I learned that if you are FROM there it is pronounced "gall uh py liss". In fact the locals would correct you if you pronounced it "gall uh pu leece".

Fortunately, there aren't too many locals so you only need to say it that way when you're at the Gallia County Fair.

Here at the Corps of Engineers where I work now, we couldn't decide how to pronounce it so we changed it to 'Robert C. Byrd'....at least the locks and dam anyway.

No dude, these people would get really red about it. I can't tell you the number of times people would say, "Why do you all at that radio station pronounce it......when its really........".

It was a big deal there. Of course they had a town called Patriot that was pronounced like the name "Pat", Chauncey which was pronounced like "chance", and don't even get me started on "Rio Grande" or "Lancaster" which is pronounced "Lancuster"

We had a lady call us from Gallipolis who works at the hospital up there answering phones and she was told its "police"...not "poliss.." Or our wx peeps that say gal-op-olis....

BTW, I not only had parachute pants, Bon Jovi cd, I had a Micheal Jackson studded glove that my grandma made me....

I was WAYYY cool!

Those were the days when Michael was a nappy headed ho and not some fat white chick like he is now...

Bob Campbell · Post by **Bob Campbell** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:33 am

and Quincy Massachusetts is pronounced Quinzee.

Studs are hot, doesn't matter which kind you're talking about.

That just brought back a great memory. Dave Poole used to have index cards to read along with the weather. Something like:

"...103.3 WTCR...It's [time]. I'm [your name]. Here's your local forecast..."

...and somebody actually said it word for word...LMAO! And, no, it wasn't me, but I do recall being a newby and hearing Chuck Black saying Tonya Tucker instead of Tanya!

Michael Jackson..the poor little black boy that grew up to be a rich white woman.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. That was stolen, BTW, from some comedian that I don't remember.

I remember a story where Dave the Rave said something to the effect of, "It's hard being this great" after a break...
