>I worked at a print shop in Kent, Washington years back and we had a
couple of guys come in who claimed to own a carpet cleaning business,
and they needed the usual print materials. They had a cleaning
system, supposedly, which used enzymes to 'eat' the dirt in your
carpets. We had an in-house designer who was doing all the design
work, including a logo, and some little cartoony characters that I
was hired to create. I was included in a meeting with these bums to
discuss their needs and I was immediately struck by the fact that
every time either one of them said the word 'enzyme,' they pronounced
it 'emzyne.' It was pretty funny. But it made me suspicious. Now
I've never been to college (art school, but not college) but I know
damn good and well how to say 'enzyme'. Why didn't EITHER ONE of
these dupes know how to say it, when their business revolved around
the alleged behavior of enzymes? I mentioned this later to my
superiors at the print shop and everyone agreed it was kind of
strange.

And then there are those who don't know the proper pronunciation of
"Nucular."
