Is this a UK thing like mushy peas, or is my brain just breaking?
I absolutely love a good weird or incorrect pronunciation.
There’s the one and only “Adele Dazeem.”
Throwback to John Travolta calling Idina Menzel “Adele Dazeem” at the #Oscars, one of the funniest moments in Oscar history.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s inability to say the word “penguin.”
friendly reminder that benedict cumberbatch can’t say “penguin”
And the fact that everyone over 50 doesn’t know how to say “Chipotle.”
Things I don’t understand: 1. Why old people can’t pronounce “Chipotle”
But now, we have a new one to add to the list!

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson said the word “microwave” in a truly *out there* next-level way.

It happened on the Christmas special for her show Cook, Eat, Repeat.
A gentle reminder that Episode 5 of #CookEatRepeat (the penultimate programme, not counting the Christmas Special) goes out tonight on @bbctwo at 8pm. Please join me!

@Nigella_Lawson pronunciation of ‘microwave’ is a highlight of 2020 for me #CookEatRepeat
It’s how we’re saying “microwave” from now on.
From this day onwards, I will only call it a mîcrowàvé #Nigella
Cheers, luv*!
Eternally grateful to Nigella Lawson for letting us know we’ve all been mispronouncing microwave for the last 50 (or so) years.
*I think that’s a UK thing, IDEK.
