Pretty sure Ken Burns doesn't know what he's talking about at times.

The actor Ryan Phillippe is Deacon's great nephew and even named his child Deacon Phillippe. He pronounces it fil-EEP. But I guess that doesn't mean much as the name has probably changed in pronunciation and spelling as the family became more Americanized.

I've asked before but is it Sweet CAP-er-ul or cuh-POOR-ul?

I always pronounce it kaa-poor-ahl. But I'm from Jersey so take that with a large grain of salt.

Really? I think I've always heard him referred to as FIL-A-PEE

I have consulted my wife the entertainment guru as well as the Oracle (Google). You are correct. Ryan Phillippe is #1 on the "Celebrities Whose Names You Are Probably Mispronouncing" list. It is, therefore, Deacon FIL-A-PEE.

According to dictionary.com, the accent does not fall on the second syllable. Caporal is a type of tobacco, which is typically pronounced with an accent on the first syllable, and sometimes the third.

So, it is CAP-uh-rahl or cap-uh-RAHL.

A lot of them are mentioned by their contemporaries in the audio version of "The Glory Of Their Times," and I would go with that. For example, "Sy-Kot" and "Laa-jah-way."
