Say It Wrong

My new favorite Web site is SayItWrong.com. It features researched and "confirmed" pronunciations of celebrities.

I stumbled across it while doing some research online for my writing gig. Let me tell you, I had no idea that Gerard Butler's ("Phantom of the Opera" movie and "300") first name is pronounced like JER-ed, except with the "r" back in its place. And Lohan? Yep. The "h" is silent.

Now, if only there was a Web site that would definitely tell newscasters how to pronounce foreign countries' and dictators' names consistently.
