PopePiusX Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The worst example of getting somebody's name wrong is, for me, Neil Morrissey announcing Alanis Morissette as Best International Newcomer at the Brit Awards, when he puts on a stupid Italian accent and calls her Alanis Mossirette, which would be stupid enough were his name not practically the f*cking same. Neil Morrissey's a n*bhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pronounced 'saymaydo' so he was nearly right. An Iberian e is pronounced as an ay. https://www.howtopronounce.com/portuguese/semedo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So Miguel Llera is pronounced meegail Yy-air-a. Not mig-well lear-a. Technically LL is pronounced L-y but Spaniards talk so fast that it sounds like y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
