I was yelled at by this 900 year-old guy at the National three years ago in Baltimore for saying Christy MATTHEW-son. "Everyone knows it's Christy MATH-E-SON young man".

Lol, he was probably good friends with Christy and took offense to it

Had an old-timer tell me one time that it was chap-o-ral.

It sounded like CAP-uh-ral to me when I clicked the speaker icon next to the word caporal.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/caporal

Interestingly enough, caporal is a variety of tobacco. Am I the only one who didn't know that before?

Best Regards,

Eric

I'll never forget going to this old guys table as a beginning collector. I asked to see the Nap La-JOY. He looked at me like I had two heads. Rubbed his chin and thought very deeply. Finally with utmost disdain he said "Do you perhaps mean Nop-oh-le-ahhhhh Lah-zho-way?" I was mortified.

I actually know it's proper to say Lah-zho-way...but La-JOY is so much easier.
