It's not just a British phenomenon either. I had the same thought myself last year hearing anglophone news commentators mangling Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet's name during the federal election here last year. Their jobs involve covering a good few francophone politicians yet they're too lazy and unprofessional to learn how to pronounce their names!

That's a name that could get quite a lot of mangling as well if you didn't get it right. You would expect them to ensure they got it correct though even if only to avoid suggestions of political bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
