The Caf's Roy Keane.
This is to expand on the conversation in the "football phrases that grind your gears" thread.
Is this something that should be improved upon by the public as well as the media. My focus is primarily on the British public and media but this could also be a problem elsewhere.
How important is it that names are pronounced correctly? Does it even matter?
I think that some effort should be put into researching and trying to pronounce the names correctly but where the pronunciation is very difficult commentators should try get as close as possible. Moreover it would help if footballers specified how they wanted their name to be pronounced.
Anyway, how should we pronounce Tuanzebe?
