So I don't know about you guys but every time i hear the advertisement for Liberty home health care Wilford Brimley's mispronunciation of the word "diabetes" as "Diabeetus" it aggravates me.

Does that guy annoy you?

Anyways, he finally said it right. I was so surprised, its like somebody told he needed to work on his annunciation and the last 2 times on the most recent commercial he actually said it right. It was a visible struggle for him to say it correctly lol.

In case your wondering here is a youtube video of the guy

pronunciation not annunciation

pshhh and you're complaining of his mispronunciation of diabetes! lol

Man, i know what you mean, I couldn't believe it the first time I heard the commercial. Ever hear the culinary arts commericial? They say something along the lines of quewlinary arts instead of culinary. UGGHHH drives me nuts!

annunciation is close to pronunciation, I tried to vary the words a bit. Annunciate is the act of announcing, which is a public form of speaking. Not enough of a difference to say I misused it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and yes the culinary arts one that comes on at like 3 am is horrendous too lol

His whole " no nonsense," self righteous persona has always made me despise him.

And I would be very surprised if he does not dress up in women's clothing during his free time.
