Now, Pronunce After Me . . .
Another edition of "Who Writes Those Commercials?," I'm afeared.
A TV ad for a foreign-language-learning program promises to teach buyers, among other things, the correct "pronounciations" of all the words! Hmm, how can I ever trust that kind of a promise when it doesn't even get the English words right?
And why do they call it Rosetta Stone in the first place? And how did Michael Phelps get tangled up with it? (Don't worry, we all know the answer to that last one, and it is pronounced "$$$$$$"!)

Rosetta Stone could very possibly be the name of a woman who came up with a ?language learning method?
Neither name, Rosetta or Stone, are all that uncommon.
