Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 It turns out i've been spelling Dwyane Wade wrong for 2+ years, if it wasn't for this thread i'd probably have kept spelling it wrong for another 2+ years as well. Never noticed that one before, and i'm normally a stickler for correct spelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2005 It's not a spelling fuck-up, but it kills me that EVERYONE in Boston (including the sports talk show hosts) pronounce the Yankees' pitcher's name as 'Wang' (as in Wang Chung, or "Hey Wang, what's with the pictures its a parking lot?") when it should be pronounced "Wong".
