That's just inexcusable!  Her producer should have corrected her - in her ear- after the first mispronunciation.

I started watching QVC because of Kathy.  She is one of a kind.

 

When you are working side-by-side with someone, the very least you can do is know how to pronounce her name.  If it were me and I had done it, I would be embarrassed.

 

But, here's a thought.  Why let it happen?   Know your product, know your vendor.  Simple.

 

Since I no longer watch, I often miss Kathy.  However, when I have seen her, she is always gracious.

Kathy Levine is a true professional and a class act. She would never embarrass someone by calling attention to their mistake in pronouncing her name.

I highly doubt Kathy who is such a warm and gracious person, is expecting a muffin basket and note of apology.

 I have a very hard to pronounce maiden name and my married name is even harder.  One gets used to various pronunciations and just roll with it not to make the other person feel bad.  


 

I have a last name that it hard to pronounce and lots of people mispronounce it. I  just ignore it and move on.  Not a big deal.

Don't let it bother you.  Happens to me now and then, too.

 

I get what you were saying.

A lot of us have names that may be - for some - difficult to pronounce.  That's not the point.  Monifa is supposedly a professional.  She should have found out beforehand how to pronounce Kathy's name.  Just another example of QVC being on a downhill slide.

Monifa probably should have done her homework a little better and had properly pronounced Kathy's name properly.  Having said that, it doesn't excuse one particular poster in here from constantly making rude and unkind remarks at other posters, and I quote, "Everyone isn't as perfect and error free as you are."  Contrary to what that poster posts, she's the one who thinks she's perfect and error free.

The difference between Kathy Levine and Monifa is Kathy is a iprofessional whi is always prepared and Monifa is neither.  She needs to be fired.

@chrystaltree   your comments were good until you got to that last sentence. Why is it necessary to be so snarky and judgmental? The OP 's post was excellent, unlike yours.

@zitawins  Yes, to what you've said.  I will also add that emotionally healthy people have good self-esteem. They don’t need to put others down to feel better about themselves.
