Teach hosts correct pronunciations

Purseone · ‎11-05-2010

Recently, the words “merino” and “koolaburra “ were mispronounced by host for entire hour. Hard to watch.

That host is hard to watch on any show. I still can't get over the mispronunciation of "figaro."

Many hosts mispronounce things you would think someone would have coached them on before they go in the air.

@lucky-girl You don't think we should have the expectation of a host being able to pronounce words commonly used in the industry in which she works? I disagree. QVC should be embarrassed.

The word that gets me every time by both host and/or vendor is "button"...amazing how many people are not aware there are 2 "t's" in the word "button"...I laugh every time I hear the pronunciation "bu..on" where are the missing "t's"...?

I dislike that pronunciation as you cod. However I don't say "but-ton". That sounds weird. I say "butn" like most people I know

I agree, at the very least the company name and product you are selling. It's called preparation for your job.
