so i'm watchin forbes top 100: who made the bank on e! and they got to j.k. rowling and they can't even pronounce her name correctly. it's rowling like bowling not rawling. it's one thing when regular people (aka not on tv or radio, etc) get it wrong. but when you're a reporter?!? it just gets me so mad!!!

*shakes head sadly* They're trying sooo hard to sound professional by pronouncing it "correctly". Too bad they don't.

Because they THINK they're saying it right and no one's telling them different.
