Every time I hear King Carrot Tangerine’s surname pronounced “BAYNER,” my eyes roll into the back of my head. Just like in poem, floes, roe and woe, in English (a.k.a. AMERICAN!), “oe” does not have a long A sound. His name is pronounced “BONER.” I swear it’s almost as bad as Raymond Luxury Yacht…
Anyway, keep the correct pronunciation in mind as you read any given day’s headlines. It goes a long way toward preventing the gnashing of teeth and the screaming of obscenities. To wit:
Risks to Boehner in Debt-Ceiling Brinkmanship
Boehner Presses Obama on Libya Action
Are they drifting apart? Rumors swirl that Boehner and Cantor are less than cozy
Boehner Is Monstrous Orange Prick; Also Horrible Douchebag
OK, I made that last one up. Though it is true.
