Accentuate the crappy




Ugh - those radio commercials for the Rosetta Stone language courses!

"With Rosetta STONE, you can blah blah..."



Accent should be: "RosETta Stone;" at least, that's the way everyone in the English-speaking universe has always pronounced it, from history profs to the same-yclept local faux-REM band at your local commuter college (playing with Foggy Notion on the 16th!).


Why would I learn a foreign language from a company that doesn't get its accents right in English?





WHY?
