How do you pronounce "Inhofe?"
I have noticed that he is one of the worst senators ever. I want to make sure I say his name right.

10. As a German speaker, I always bristle at the pronounciation
It should be "in-hoff-a", but Americans always mispronounce foreign names.

Case in point, there's Chalabi. Americans always say it like "Cha-la-bee", when it should be "kh" like the like "Loch Ness Monster".

22. You ask Amer'kans to say that hard "ch" at the beginning of the sentence...
and 9 out of 10 times there's gonna be flying phlegm. Be grateful for our ignorance and cultural insensitivity.

24. Oh, I am grateful
I'll never forget the Zbigniew Brezhinsky incident where an American tried to pronounce it correctly.
