This mispronunciation is so annoying. One would think they would learn before going on air.

I don't think the moderators can help you with that issue. They moderate the board, not the hosts' pronounciation of a word.

I LOVE RICK, Who cares if he pronounces something incorrect? Rick is a great host and I love watching him and his shows.

This has nothing to do with whether you like a host or not. They are selling a product and should know the correct pronunciation of it. It made me SMH to hear several hosts using the wrong pronunciation but apparently it bothered some a lot because this is the second thread I've read about it.

Back in the day, I remember being up in the middle of the night watching Sheila Johnson selling Etienne Aigner items. She couldn't pronounce the brand correctly for anything. She stumbled through and pronounced it several different ways. You would think that someone in her ear could have given her the correct pronunciation unless they didn't know either.

It was ridiculous to say the least. When you are coming out on air, know your product.

@BalletBabe

Love him all you want, but it's very unprofessional to prounounce a very well known cookware incorrectly.

That's like pronouncing one of his co-workers' name incorrectly. You just don't do that. It makes him look un-educated in what he's selling.

@Lipstickdiva, I remember that as well. It was actually painful to watch.

I agree. I like Rick too, but all hosts should be pronouncing the names of what they sell correctly. If I owned a company, I certainly wouldn't want the name mispronounced. It's careless, and - as you said - unprofessional. Hosts pronouncing incorrectly leads to consumers doing the same thing, and no company wants that.

Attention to detail matters in television, and in sales also. This just looks sloppy. QVC should aim to be better than that.

Very unprofessional. Many of the hosts just don't seem to care enough to learn about the products they are hocking. If you can't even say the name correctly, you aren't trying.

So much is mispronounced what's one more? I say that tongue in cheek but it's true. The two letters A and U together is an O sound. Mauve (the color) is not Maave!

mauve

mōv,môv/

adjective

(That's from Google and has an auditory as well!)

It floors me that there are not any classes for these hosts to go to... it would be the professional thing to do!

I like Rick too, but if he is going to be on air presenting a product the least he can do is get the facts right and that includes pronouncing the name correctly as well as getting the color names correct. Now I gave him a pass regarding the color names because it was the first one-hour presentation for Le Creuset, but heck at least pronounce the brand name right. The hosts spend considerable time preparing for their shows so there really is no excuse.

I could care less if a host mispronounces a name. Maybe someone should point it out after the show, but to crucify him for it is crazy!
