How difficult is it to say this, idiots? His fucking name is not ANTONIO with an O, it's D'Antoni, with an I at the end!!!

I've never once misspelled or mispronounced his name but every god damn person on TV thinks his name is Antonio. How hard is this, idiots?Huh?

Remember Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway? Same type of situation. I got so sick of the so-called NBA expert analysts calling him "Anthony".

Or those who pronounce Jaguars; Jagwires. Another little annoying tidbit, those who spell Dwyane Wade, Dwayne Wade.

I hate it when the college football announcers pronounce the word "Clemson" like it has a z (Clemzin) or p (Clempson) in it.

What's the correct way to say Louisville?

Is it:

Lou-ee-ville

or

Lou-ull-ville

I've heard both...

Born and raised in MA. Worchester is a city that has pronunciations depending on what part of MA you're from.

As for Jaguars or Clemson, part of it is accents. Remember that Boston people drop R's and add them where they don't belong. For the most part I've stopped doing it (I've lived in S. Fla since '94) but there are some words that still give me fits. Oh and when I get pissed, forget it, I drop R's left and right

Seeing as I'm guessing it's in some way related to the English town of the same name, I can tell you over here its pronounced "Wusstah"  Roll Eyes
