WHY do i have to listen to Radio 2 (and other) news people say Covid 19 like this?
 

It's coe-vid as in cove, core or cosy

NOT

co-vid (as in jaw or raw)

ffs


:nono:

stop saying things wrong, its not hard to get this name right? :shrug:

That comes down to the accent :idc:

no it does not its pronunciation

not one person in the UK says

Coe-ventry

they say Coventry, accent or not

We say cuhventry

They say cawventry? :think:

:suspect:

its not cor like The Corrs

But it's not co like cosy either. :hmph:

Hmm I say coe-vid but thinking about it, it actually SHOULD be coh-vid etymologically, since the Co- comes from co-rona. And no one says COE-rona, they say coh-rona.

However the whole work Covid has the dumbest etymology of any word ever so we should just all say it however we want. Schplovid-19.

:oh:
