On the one hand ... “Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.”
On the other hand.. what else are friends there for?
We were playing some game (don't even remember what) back in 2005 and I read a card that said Lebron James as "Lee-bron James".
My wife will not let this go. It's been almost a full 2 decades, but anytime Lebron is mentioned in any context whatsoever, my wife will give me that look like "haha Lee-bron. You moron."
Stories like this make for lasting relationships.
My wife accidentally bumped someone at a traffic light while sitting immediately in front of a cop like 10 years ago. No damage, no ticket, no problems but she's SO bad with that sort of thing.
So naturally it occasionally comes up when she's driving.
I’m ruined on “Lee-“ anything. , because I think of Leeroy Jenkins. Now I’m just imagining Lebron just charging into every play with no strategy, shouting “Leeee-bron James!”
