[Opinions] Re: Mispronunciations on real people...
in reply to a message by Siân
That's so sad. Cyril is one of my favorites for boys as well.
While not someone I've actually met in real life, there is a female wrestler on TNA named Sarah Stock (better known as her ring name Sarita). Tazz, one of the commentators, ALWAYS says her name as "Sariter". There was also another female wrestler on TNA who went by Hamada. Tazz would say her name as "Hamader". I think it's just his accent though. What's confusing is that he's from New York, and I've always understood the "substituting 'er' for 'a' sounds" was a British thing. Can someone clarify this?

Some northeastern American accents have intrusive R's like British accents.
