We sometimes watch the Chris Matthews show on MSNBC, just because it's on. I agree with most of his positions, but man, I do not like him. Mr. Annoying Interrupter Guy. But the other night we got a good laugh out of him. He was mentioning something that had been on the Fusion network and said something that I will try to represent without IPA symbols here:"on the Fyu-zhee-yan Network - I think that's the Spanish pronunciation..."Oh my god, dude, surely you have assistants who took some Spanish in high school who could have steered you out of that one???
Anyway, I had to look the Fyuzheeyan Network up because I wasn't familiar with it. I learned that it's a network launched by Univision and ABC that was originally aimed at English-speaking millenials of Hispanic background. But according to the All-Knowing-Place, they got some bad press for that, and changed their goal: "to 'engage and champion a young, diverse and inclusive America,' regardless of cultural or language background." *
So note to Chris: it's an English-speaking channel. You can just pronounce "Fusion" in English next time and not embarrass yourself again.
* footnote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_%28TV_channel%29. Don't want to Rand Paul it.
