Zika is a toughy.

I might work in radio, but pronouncing stuff is not my strong suit. I blame my dad. He doesn't know the different between Ellen and Alan, and he pronounces, "salad," "suled."

Starting in 2017, maybe I will keep my own list of hard to pronounce words, but this list comes from Glamour.

The list is pretty long and includes the following:

  • Bowie
  • Marion Cotillard
  • Narcos
  • Quinoa
  • Rattata
  • Xenophobia
  • Zika

Bowie, really? That's embarrassing people. But I'm with you on Marion Cotillard... still working on that one.
