Re: David, it's $289, at least pronounce the name correctly!

There is a television commercial for acai. They call it ah say with the accent on ah.! An announcer at our church invited the women to an all you can eat BUFF ette ( like a dinette). Anyway, what can you do? Hahah! The commercial was just so wrong though, they ought to know better before they go national

There are many things people could fault me for (!). However, it drove me crazy last evening when DV did that. I don't think he's incapable of pronouncing it correctly.

Minor to me, a three year French student. I know I would have a hard time with any other language. What I was happy about was I could watch an entire presentation from David without a Happy Dance or a Googly Face. I almost ordered, but I fought off the snob in me. And I'm worried about that interior discoloring. Things like that drive me nuts. Knowing me I'd burn it the first time out of the gate.

Has anyone ever heard the hosts call GOLD, GODE? Not sure why that bugs me sometimes lol...just a little distraction. Several do it, maybe it's a regional thing? Actually, any word ending in OLD...they say ODE.... I'm not being negative...I can live with it...ha! Just wondered if anyone else has heard it?
