Tournament pronunciation

[tek]

(Andy Rooney mode)

You know what bugs me more than people who use the word loose instead of lose? It's people who annouce tournaments and pronounce it 'taworenament' instead of 'turnament'.

Funny, when I was in New York I noticed this too. I think the former is just an east coast thing.

You mean people who pronounce it the right way instead of the wrong way?

[Pov]

Those are both wrong pronunciations. It's toor ne ment.

I thought it was only pronounced "turnament" by wise old men in movies about kickboxers fighting to the death.
