Reminds me of the scene from Prick Up Your Ears when Peggy was writing a memo to Brian Epstein, she didn't know if it was EpsTINE or EpSTEEN, then said along the lines, Americans can be very offended if you get their names wrong.
There was a very annoying woman on BBC news a few weeks ago who kept saying Tel a- VIV.As it is spelt. Not Tel -a-Veev. Which is how it's always been pronounced.
