Last week Obama gave a speech in which he pronounces corpsman, as in “Navy corpsman” as “corpseman”
He did it twice so it wasn’t just a slip of the tongue. I wouldn’t really care, except for years I’ve heard what a total moron President Bush was because he pronounced “nuclear” like “nucular”. This was especially distressing because that’s the way I usually pronounce it myself!
Both W and I can now both walk with our head high once more– We’re at least not that bad. I wonder if he knows how the Marine Corps is spelled?
