I'm surprised that no one has corrected both Amy and Lori on the correct pronunciation of "anemone". It is not an-a-monie! Also Amy needs to lookup ochre. It is not okra!

Many of the hosts also mispronounce "Le Creuset".  When it's your job....you should be going over pronunciations before you go on air.

Must not be part of their job if QVC does not require their pronounciation of words to be accurate.  

 

LOR:  I-N-C-R-D-I-B-L-E.

I agree about certain hosts and their speaking issues.  Any public speaker  should make an effort to at least sound professional.  A far as addressing people with nick names as Amy does, if the person doesn't care or says it is fine, that is their choice.  My name has two syllables and if someone were to call me by the one syllable , I would correct them.  In my opinion Amy sounds juvenile and I'll leave it at that.

How about can we mention people who use "advise" when they mean "advice?"  

 

Since we're doing this. . .

@Katrinka23 

I've been whining about that for weeks! LOL why no one is in her ear telling her how the word is pronounced is beyond me

She was presenting with Lori's sidekick a couple of weeks ago and of course pronounced it wrong again and he listed the colors quite soon after her, pronouncing it correctly, but she didn't seem to catch on
