I think so...

Wheel Fail

Presented with the puzzle "SE_EN S_ _NS A-S_ _MM _NG" under the clue "Living Things," the contestant, Renee, correctly guessed "Seven Swans A-Swimming." Only problem? She pronounced it "Seven Swans A-Swimmin'," causing host Pat Sajak to tell her she was incorrect and move on to the next contestant.

"Yeah ... can't accept that," Sajak tells her, over the applause of audience members who clearly think Renee has solved the puzzle. "Amy, it's your turn."

Amy, the next contestant, then chooses a V and a W before she's forced to solve the puzzle because all of the remaining letters are vowels. She offers the same response as Renee did seconds earler, but makes sure to emphasize the "G" sound.

After congratulating Amy, Sajak asks, "Do you know what happened there?"

"No, I thought she did it," a baffled Amy responds.

Sajak goes on to explain to Amy (and a pursed-lipped Renee) that Renee incorrectly used "the vernacular" in her guess.

I'm pretty sure this has happened before on there if that's a rule. They need to stick to the rules. Can't fault WoF there.

Well, she did enunciate that "-in" pretty hard.

If you have to pronounce all the letters then i fail to see what the problem is.
