Tonight’s TV news included a report about Puerto Rico in the aftermath of hurricane Maria. Mr. Dumbclutz told us that about half the population of the island is without “pot”-able water. Uggghhh! Wouldn’t you think that if the word was unfamiliar to him, he might have looked it up or asked a friend how to pronounce it? Maybe he should watch Jeopardy! more often. The show often has a category titled “Potent Potables”–pronounced poh’-tent poh’-tah-bulls, not paht-ent paht’-ah-bulls.
