It’s bad enough when laymen do it, but in a radio commercial today, a realtor kept describing himself as a “ree-luh-der”. You moron, it’s ree-uhl-ter; you know, like REAL estate, REALTY… you don’t pronounce those ree-la or ree-lah-tee do you? People are such idiots. These are the same morons who insist on calling me Steven or Stephen or Steve.
