Mis-pronouncing can be costly

“Wheel of Fortune” fans were less than happy with the way one contestant was treated. Renee Durette was ruled incorrect when she dropped the “g” from the phrase “Seven Swans a-Swimming.” It cost her nearly $4,000 – and the game.



  Beware The Blurred Word

When appearing on a game show
And you want to win some money,
Avoid the judges’ “kayo” -
Keep your disposition sunny.

When you decide on the solution
And are all set to announce it,
Plan well your execution –
Be sure you can pronounce it.
