That reminds me of a comedian I once saw talking
about pretensious use of language. He was complaining
about a flash-in-the-pan musical group named Sade, but
pronounced Shah-DAY: "Shah-DAY. Give me a break.
S-A-D-E doesn't spell Shah-DAY. I spell my name
D-A-V-E, but I don't pronounce it "Bob".
Sade (pronounced Sha-day) is a Nigerian-born English singer who
pronounces her name that way because that's how you say it in
Yoruba, which is her father's native language. The band was
named after her.
