Was he afraid to hurt feelings? I have always been confused by this. He was basically the only one in the world who called them this

The L is for Levant.

ISIL had something to do with the Levant. As opposed to ISIS which was just Syria.

It was a shot at the Jews.

Because Muslims consider Israel to be part of the Levant. Obama is a Muslim.
Over there, they call ISIS "Daesh".

Same as when he says Pakistan. It's part of their/his culture

Control the language, and you control the argument.
The media decides acceptable language.
Notice how the press continues to refuse to refer to X as X. It is always the thing formally referred to as twitter.
UFOs are no longer UFOs for the same reason.

The press blindly followed him with the pronunciation until he repeatedly said corpse for corps.

It's so weird. Like how "Kee-yev" suddenly became "Keev".

Remember when Obama read a speech basically calling Memorial Day the summer version of Veterans day? That may have been the same speech where he honored the Marine corpse men.

It’s a conjugation error in Farsi.

This isn't an example of this

It was a subtle nod to the Levant, for which he helped promulgate.

Because that's what his friends at ISIS preferred to be called.
