Linda Davies presenting the blanket.  I listened through 2 presentations and she consistently said hyperallergenic.  She is a nice lady.  I just couldn't believe she used the term each time as she is their rep and should know better.  I know it is trivial-just bothered me..

I heard that too.

 I always enjoy Linda's presentations, but her mispronunciation really got on my nerves.

 

Someone needs to point this out to her.

I agree.  When the person presenting doesn't know how to pronounce words correctly, it's hard for me to take them seriously.  After all, how much do the really know about the product if they can't describe it correctly?

@kjaeIt's not at all trivial, since hyPER allergenic is the opposite of hyPO allergenic.  If an item is hyPERallergenic, it causes allergies -- and that's the opposite of the point she's trying to make!

Poor Linda, I bet she didn't realize she was mispronouncing the word, I can't believe she doesn't know the difference. Sometimes you are just not thinking.

WOW.  I'm amazed.  This has not been poofed yet.  Criticize Linda, okay.  Other hosts/vendors?  Uh-uh.
