Dangers of TOTUS: Obama Reads Word "Corpsman" as "Corpse Man" Twice



So far, no response from the Teleprompter...

It's probably a word that doesn't get much use in Kenya.

Saying "Nukelar" is bad dialect. Saying "Corpseman" is just fuken ignorance. ...and that clown is the Commander in Chief.

Bad dialect? It's called "wrong". Pretty embarrassing for Obama, but we'll see if Obama continues to pronounce words wrong for his entire presidency like Bush did.

It's not wrong. It may be a poor dialect, but it's not wrong. "CorpSEman" is ignorance. I've heard people say nukelar in the South many times. I've NEVER heard a moron call a corpsman a corpseman. ...well, until yesterday.

BTW, on Chapelle Show Wu Tang Investments advised their clients to invest in some "nukelar" bombs. ...and no, they weren't making fun of Bush. That was the guy's dialect.

I don't really see how that's a dialect. There's no 'u' after the 'c'

Yea, just because other people pronounce it wrong too doesn't make it a dialect. People pronounce words wrong all the time.

Quote:usage Though disapproved of by many, pronunciations ending in \-kyə-lər\ have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, United States cabinet members, and at least two United States presidents and one vice president. While most common in the United States, these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers.

Neal Boortz pronounces "measure" as "mayzure". He has a law degree. Educated Bostonian pronounce "car" "cah". Herman Cain is very well-educated and pronounces "R" "Arah".

Those are dialects and two, totally different things than some dumb*** pronouncing corpsman "corpseman".

I thought he had the highest IQ of any living being in the galaxy, to include Pluto?

Or in Jakarta. Ever see Obama salute? That is always a precious moment.
Nothing like a dork knucklehead radical liberal serving as prez.

"mayzure" sounds like dialect, even "cah" I can see, because it's simply a very soft "R". I don't know how you get Arah out of the letter "R". But with no letters between the "c" and the "l", certainly not a "u", there's really no way to get "nucular" out of it, especially when it ends with "ear". It's like when people say calvary when they mean cavalry.

Being intelligent doesn't mean you pronounce everything correctly by default.

You just proved my point. "Calvary" is a word I've heard many times. ....and it was done by educated people. Corpseman, I have NEVER heard and again, wasn't he supposed to be Einstein reincarnated?

Reb, did you change your.......

i've never heard the 'man' part, but i've heard people pronounce it 'corpse.'

and no, nucular is not an accent or dialect problem. it's a mispronunciation problem. Plain and simple.

Well, "Calvary" is an actual word. But it means something totally different than cavalry, and numerous times I've heard people get that wrong. Of course, they don't realize they're pronouncing it wrong.

...of which Bush was railed over and ran through the press as some kind of idiot and yes, as GTS pointed out, it is a dialect issue. Anyone that pronounces "corps" "corpse" is a complete and total moron. ANYONE can say "core", ANYONE.

Now where's the GDamn same slams from the media for this clown?

Same damn people trashing Bush are the same ones defending the Kenyan. Talk about some funny partisan ****.

Whether it's a dialect or stupidity isn't the question. The question is... Why does one President's mispronounciation make him stupid and the other is simply wrong?

As to the "no u after the c" comment, maybe you should "axe" someone else. Are people who use that word stupid, or is it a dialect?

GTS's post didn't say it was a dialect issue. It said that a large number of people have pronounced it that way. But it's not an eastern or southern dialect or accent or anything like that. It's just people that refuse to pronounce things correctly. There are a lot of people that say "mute" when they mean "moot". Doesn't make it right.

As dumb as it was, I bet you that Obama won't pronounce it that way anymore. He'll actually learn from the mistake, unlike some presidents.

And are you not trashing Obama and defending Bush?
