Mantis Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 This is a pet peeve of mine. Some common ones that I've seen on here and elsewhere: "Clarke" instead of Clark (Ciaran Clark) "Adams" instead of Adam (Charlie Adam) "Wiltshere" instead of Wilshere (Jack Wilshere) And probably the worst of all is Kozak, which I've seen spelled the following: "Kovac" "Kozac" "Kojak" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Spelling the name wrong is one thing, attempting to pronounce the name in some lisping Spanish shambles really boils my piss though. Johnathan Pearce on motd is probably the worst for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 How do you go from Wilshere to Wiltshire? Okay so my predictive keyboard is indicating to me that Wiltshire is an actual name. But still...gah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I would say El-Ahmadi (is that right?!) but it's one I spell wrong myself! I then found out this season there's two of the useless feckers! Hull have one too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The one who plays for Hull spells his name Elmohamady. Their name is probably spelled the same in Arabic though. It's like Muhammad and Mohammed or Gabriel and Djibril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Karim's surname is supposed to be pronounced something like "El Ackmadi". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The ones that annoy me most are our own players, seen it so many times on forums and twitter.. Clarke, Bannon..only annoys me because theres no real excuse for it you see them playing with their name on their shirt you see their names when teamsheets are announced doesnt really make any sense. Otherwise i agree with the above, the needless stupid pronunciation of simple names like Cazorla as Caforla i mean is that even right and thats how its supposed to be pronounced or is that someone just beign a bellend?

Zatman Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Siobhán I can never remember how to spell it, always have to Google it... lot of foreign people have a problem with the name Aoife when they meet Irish person with that name as spelling and how to say it can be very confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2013 If we're on about Irish names, the best one (by virtue of being fairly common) is Gráinne. Often pronounced Grainy. Should be Graw-nya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
