I wonder: How long does an incorrect pronunciation have to "percolate" before it is added to the dictionary as an accepted alternative and you can't tell people they're wrong anymore?
My beloved Ukraine the Latest podcast has begun using the horrible locution “it begs the question“ when they simply mean to say it raises the question.
The Four Seasons, I mean Vivaldis masterpiece[s] used to be my easy Sunday morning C.D. listening on the butthead phones (why do they refer to it as “phones”, in the plural, after all I am not calling anyone)
Thanks for writing such beautiful prose and sharing your cheerful thoughts. I will follow, I mean I got my own way when it comes to grammarly rules, as I have hardened beliefs about….speaking of The Ukraine…Never forget, NEVER FORGIVE the biggest POSPOTUS for rolling out the bloody red carpet for a mass murderer and war criminal ON AMERICAN SOIL!…While innocent human beings are being blown up by a man Donald J Trump should have ordered a Marine Corp sniper to drop the instant the monster stepped off his Red Death Star. I put this in writing about the same mobster, I mean monster, who, Speaking of Mike Pence, The Don literally was gleefully sporting wood in the Bada Bing, I mean from Oval Office window while a pure white trash riot that he incited (“Be there. It WILL BE WILD”) was chanting. HANG MIKE PENCE…The President of the United States should have suffered the ultimate punishment for treason the night of January 6th…#REMEMBERASHLIBABBIT The young looney tune true be lie ever died for a complete fing BIG LIE “‘The Joozes’ [hat tip Jonah] stabbed U.S. in the back”, I mean the election was rigged. You know why the Austrian little turd did not arrest any of the November criminals…the same reason his spiritual descendent Donald J Trump Administration has yet to indict a single rigger of the 2020 election…They literally do not exist, and our mobster, I mean monster Presidente Duterte knows it. Conmen always be coning. And The Don should have already…But We the Living in Kakistocracy, where just the other day another pathetic old man was literally rolled into The Senate in a wheel chair and had to have Congressional staffers make like they were interpreters for a foreign dignitary so Colonel Sanders, I mean Mitch McConnell can cast a vote, instead of announcing he found Jesus while in the senatetorium and is now finally calling for Congress to impeach and remove the President and condeming all brown shirts in The Reichstag, I mean the U.S. Congress for going along and placating and enabling an Anti Truth Neo Nationalist Sociopath in The White House. FOR F’s Sake this wise guy CANNOT REMAIN IN POWER. Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo still cannot be reached for comment (hat tip James Taranto). We are way past The Night of the Long Knives, I mean the atrocity of January 6th…and if only we lived in a just political world and the “evil” Nancy Pelosi and company had made happen what this here Village Idiwitt called for that night…good, decent, loving human beings would still be alive, and a shameless megalomanic would be sharing a cell (“rhymes with”) with the little Austrian turd. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward Peace through superior mental firepower
'They were all saying “beast-iality.” In truth, that word is pronounced “bess-chee-ality.” '
I don't think anyone should be sufficiently involved with this to pronounce upon the pronunciation. Also, a wag could make something out of "bess-chee-ality" and "kim-chee-ality."

“For a populist, he takes a very, very dim view of the people.”
All conmen hold their marks in utter contempt. “If you’re dumb enough to fall for this, you deserve what you get.”
