Bezos?
My husband does regular work with the family and it just irritates me to no end that Bannon purposefully mispronounces it.
I’m not sure why - maybe because it is closer to Beelzebub as he chooses to mispronounce it? In any case, it is annoying. Especially given his blaming the family, for some reason, for the coverage of Moore’s transgressions.

What is the correct way? I wonder if I say it right.

Bay - zoes. (Like toes, but with a z)
I have no issue with how everyday folks pronounce it. But, when Bannon mispronounces it, I know that it is calculated. Otherwise, he is a dumbfuck.

BAY-zos. Yes?
That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced. Hubby worked for Amazon for 4 plus years, so I'm presuming he knows.

I tried to use the smiley and it showed up as a teeny photo of a kitten. I do have the "change all pictures of Cheetohead to kittens" thingy on my laptop, but no clue why it happened here. Do others see the kitten or the "yeah that" smiley?  |

I feel that way every time a news reporter mispronounces Nevada and they are American. Not calculated, but come on! It's like saying Ore-i-gone. Ne-vadd-a not Ne-vaww-da |

Ne-vadd-a not Ne-vaww-da As someone who lived in Oregon for 5 years and taught at U of O, I understand! I just had to say something since for whatever reason Bannon keeps publicly blaming the illumination of Moore’s assualts of teenage girls on the Bezos Family. None of whom had anything to do with pervert-Roy-Moore’s sexual attraction to young girls. |

That makes Jeff Bezos as personally responsible for it as Murdoch is for the variety of trash spewed by FOX talking heads, including Hannity and his support of Moore. |

I heard him say it the other day and found it annoying as well.

Of course it's Bezos' fault... he owns the Washington Post, the WP broke the story, the story spread like wildfire... therefore the whole thing is Bezos' fault, not Moore's. Can't you see that??? Jeez PS - it's really hard to type with my eyes rolled so far back in my head. SaveSave |
