OKRA instead of OCRE. Why don't they know it's pronounced OH KUR not OH KRA

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you had spelled ocher correctly in the post to which I first responded, I might have had a firmer grasp on your pronunciation issue. 

I watch the cooking/kitchen shows (rarely fashion); thus my mind went immediately to the "food" category.

edited to add: 

I live in the American south (sort of), and most of my family are in the northeast of England. We all speak the English language, but there are times when pronunciations vary and may make it difficult to understand one another. We even spell colour/color ochre/ocher differently.

I agree and also Tom Selleck trying to sell reverse mortgages.  They both must be making a boat load of money on these commercials.

"She (or he) was recently a guest on the podcast of 'such and such' celebrity."

Just an fyi that "podcast" is supposed to mean "portable on demand broadcast."  The podcast does seem like an informative modem and is pre-recorded, but I'm just tired of the phrase and/or term, lol.

I know it has been said several times already but I am going to go ahead and say it again....."Fri-Yay". The word...and the show itself for that matter is cringe!

"Stinkin cute"

"Variant"

What does "on the day" really mean? Why not just say today?
