they actually ripped off the original cast in doing that, it was done years before that

btw: nothing wrong with pronouncing things the way they should be, what kind of nonsense is this?

I can see your point when merely saying the name of a country. But do you expect us to pronounce "hors d'oeuvres" as "horse doovers" because you think pronouncing it correctly is pretentious?

I say Mee ami instead on Miami because I heard Will Smith say it that way in a song.

I say Aye iti instead of Hay tee because Cyril Neville and the Uptown All Stars pronounced it they way in a song.

I say By Yo (for Bayou) instead of By You or By ya because Art Neville pronounced it that way in the song Fire on The Bayou.

I just trust these guys and copy their pronunciation to seem like I am in the know on this stuff.

I pronounce Montréal and Québec with a French accent because I know it triggers the baws.

Just one of those random things that happened to stick in my brain over the years.

Finally, it paid off.
