New Frontiers In Microaggression–Teachers Mispronouncing Students’ Names


In the current Radio Derb I have a segment (at 32m40s in the podcast) about the newest frontier in microaggression:  teachers mispronouncing students’ names.

Several listeners have referred me to a classic Comedy Central clip on the subject.  It made me laugh so much I want to share it.  It’s on YouTube here.

In approximately the same vein, from the other side of the Atlantic, I recommend Ronnie Barker’s address on behalf of the Loyal Society for the Permention of Pisromunciation.
