Pet Peeve of Mine

I'm from a city in Ohio (yes, there are cities in Ohio, fuck you very much) called Akron. Simple to pronounce: "Ack' rən". Not exactly a small town, there are about 200,000 people there. So I'd figure that if my hometown was on the news, they'd at least get the name right.

When will I ever learn? There was a segment on Headline News not too long ago about a basketball player from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School who stands a good chance of going straight to the NBA instead of to college. How'd the sports-chick pronounce it? Ack-ron. Like two words, almost two sentences. Ack. Ron.

I have no clever comment here, I just wish people who get paid to do nothing more than speak would do so correctly.
