You are absolutely right. The same host who says "buh un" also says "cah in" for cotton and "lenth" for length. It is not a matter of regional pronunciation; it sounds uneducated and childish. I do not know why QVC does not address this. To the viewer, it sounds like nails on a blackboard.

Does not meter for me. She is very good host.

Though l agree that this is a problem, I can deal with occasional mispronunciations of words.
What l find harder to listen to are voices that are like nails on a chalkboard to me. Some of the female product reps. have such high-pitched voices, they sound like children, or like they just inhaled helium. l change the channel when this occurs.
l believe this is a problem that is costing the Q numerous viewers, and as a result, countless sales. This needs to be addressed with voice coaching before these folks are deemed ready for television. JMHO.

There was one ex-host who always said "impordant" instead of "important". I had wondered why no one ever talked to her about that.

interesting quote from sandra bennett from a while back. i would not be surprised if ALL of them feel this way.
"I'd rather my feedback come from my producers than whether someone online likes my hair or not."
