Could they not come up with a better headline? Did CBS Sports lay off some copy editors or something? Are the interns running the website? That is just horrid!

[SloKid]

:spit: :rolls: :help:

 

[Corswandt]

Do they even know how "Mauresmo" is pronounced?

 

[anlavalle]

Sorry I don´t get it

 

[Tennace]

I only had to read it about 10 times before realizing what it was trying to say :lol: What a bad headline

 

[-sugi-]

lol :lol: its kind of funny how stupid it is

[RayRob]

:lol: I hope they don't think that Mauresmo is pronounced "Mar-res-mo" - what a bunch of pillocks!

do you work in media? You seem to be a professional at criticizing it.

 

[vogus]

Very lame headline. They clearly don't know how "Mauresmo" is pronounced because "Remarkable" and "Mauresmo" sound nothing alike. :lol:

no, that's the thing, they DO sound alike. Those syllables in Remarkable and Mauresmo are pronounced exactly the same. But when you stick that "maur" into "remarkable", it turns into "remorkable".

I think vogus must be the author of the article :lol:

nah, i agree that it's an atrocious headline, but i understand how the intern or whoever it was came up with it.

That's not true. They are not pronounced the same way at all! But anyway, I don't find the headline that stupid

:scratch: Those syllables don't sounds the same... together or apart! :lol:

Mar and Maur aren't pronounced the same!

So you anglos pronounce Mauresmo as if it was an English word, i.e. Mauw-rehz-mow (or mahr-ehz-mow), rather than mo-rehz-mo (short o's)?

If i say it in normal US English it's "Mah-REZ-mo". I guess the British and Aussies pronounce it differently.

 

[Corswandt]

If I pronounced English language words as if they were Portuguese, the results would be hilarious:

Lindsay Davenport would be linn-dsah-ih duh-veynh-port

Ashley Harkleroad would be uh-shley hurk-luh-roh-ahd

(most of our vowels go unstressed)

I think the Spanish pronounce foreign words like this. I remember watching their news on teevee once and hearing the TV news anchor refer to something called grah-tih-foolh didd. It was only after some archive footage was shown that I realized they were talking about Grateful Dead.

Copy editors are the ones who come up with the headlines :lol: This is a typical American sports headline. You should read the New York Post or New York Daily News. One for last week for Sasha Cohen was "Crash-Asha".
