So funny how the 'You're in America, speak English' crowd can't even pronounce Zohran's name even though it's literally pronounced like it's spelled (hexbear.net)

When English is your only language and you can't even get that right, maybe who's running for mayor shouldn't be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.

"pronounced like it's spelled" doesnt help the average english native speaker, because english spelling is stupid. you can see this when they try to pronounce any unfamiliar/foreign word and they just randomly skip letters or insert new ones. their default strategy seems to be to expect every unfamiliar word to be like "through".
