Dear Randi: It's News Corp. (as in corporation) not Corps (as in Marine Corps).

[Liberal In Texas]

So it's pronounced "korp" nor "core". Corp. is an abbreviation for corporation. Corps is a word that means military body. News Corp. is hardly a military body even though it's run like a dictatorship.

She always mispronounces it and for some reason it drives me nuts.

That is all.

3. Randi also has a problem with the word subsidize.

She always pronounces it substidize and that drives me up a wall.

5. You beat me to this one

The first time I heard her talking about "substidies," I thought she was joking. Nope. She says a lot of stuff weird(ly).

4. Even President Obama says Marine "Corpse"

It's no big deal. You're being nit picky. Everyone has these verbal peculiarities.

6. Never heard the Obama say that. As far as Randi goes, her job is

as a professional radio commentator where she frequently talks about News Corp. and it would behoove her to correctly know how to pronounce the things she frequently talks about. And it also probably bothers me more than normal with her because she always comes off as such a f'ing know-it-all about everything.
