I wish Chris Matthews would stop saying the word Quran as " core--rans "

[Tx4obama]

Honestly I can't believe that he doesn't know how to say the word properly!

Has anyone else noticed, or is it just me?

[gophates]

1. I wish he would stop saying any words, personally. nt

[monmouth]

2. He is very lazy about correcting it also. Numerous words he

pronounces that make me cringe. My mother from north Jersey used to say "Chi car go." Over and over we would correct her but to no avail. He's on the tv, someone needs to shape him up...

3. LOL... I posted this yesterday...

While the second syllable is correctly pronounced "rahn" (and few get that right), what really bugs me is his putting the accent on the first syllable. No one else I have heard does that and it is just grating.


It appears, though that you and I are pretty much alone in being bugged by this...;)

5. Oh, I missed your post yesterday. Good to know that I'm not alone. n/t

4. Maybe saying it that way gives him a tingle up his leg.

:rofl:

6. Tweety: Cheeeny was given a core--ran in Gutter.

Translation: Cheney was given a Koran in Qatar.

7. You know if enough people quit watching that idiot they'll replace him.

[Supersedeas]

8. I wish people would stop watching the superficial Tweety so he would go the way of Tucker

he is about as substantive as Tucker Carlson bow tie.

What a complete waste of a national platform! Tweety go home.

9. I wish he would stop saying cheeeny n/t

10. Like Dick "Cheeneey"?

He should team up with GW "Nooclear" Bush and Ms. "Refudiate" Palin and author a dictionary for stupid people.

11. The correct pronunciation of Quran is easy to remember...

it rhymes with moron

[customerserviceguy]

12. Oh, oh

Hope you don't get banned or deleted. Muslims are allowed to have 'holy' objects that they get to express irrational ire about, but they're just special, that's all.

[hlthe2b]

13. Sounds like you might need to post those kind of opinions..

elsewhere. Your disdain is poorly masked.

[customerserviceguy]

14. Good, then you got my point

People have rights, not objects.

[iamtechus]

15. I wish you'd stop saying the word faux as fox.

[Cirque du So-What]

16. Don't complain to us!

You're the one wasting your time by actually watching that dillhole...and now you come here to tell us how his farts smell? Thanks for the important update!

17. PSA: there is no letter 'o' in Arabic.

Qur'an is probably the most accepted transliteration currently.
