Please, please, please fashion host, learn to pronounce this simple word. Okra is a vegetable; ochre (oh-ker) is a color. After a designer (IM) corrects you on the pronunciation, stop saying "oh-ker or okra" each time you refer to it. It is never pronounced "okra" regardless of how much you WANT it to be pronounced that way because you've always pronounced it incorrectly.
OK -- rant over!

Buck-i-Nana,
I'm certainly not perfect BUT when someone more knowledgeable than I corrects my pronunciation of a word, and that person is right, then I try my very best to pronounce it correctly from that point on. I do NOT continue to pronounce it the correct way, followed by the incorrect way, just because I want to make some weird point.
I believe it is important to speak and write correctly within our power to do so -- if a person doesn't know, for example, how to pronounce a word that's one thing. When someone pronounces it correctly for you, you should take note and learn from your mistake. It matters.
