BBC pronouncing foreign names
I was watching a news item about Italy the other day. I found it quite interesting up until the point when the reporter pronounced the name of "Beppe Greeeeello" in a ridiculously exaggerated way. Why do they do this? I stopped listening to the news content, and just had a desire to reach inside the t.v. set, grab the reporter and repeatedly nut him. I'm all for treating everyone with respect and courtesy, but I think that foreign names should be pronounced in a normal way according to the sound system of standard English. I suppose that I probably need to be sent on an "ethnic awareness course", somewhere in Islington or Hampstead.
