Smart people's English!
I cannot help but respond to the letter with the heading "Esports or sports" published in the March 22nd edition of the DS. It is really sad to see how we still use knowledge of English or pronunciation of English words to measure smartness. The writer would be surprised to see how many "smart people"(in the true sense of the word) with far inferior pronunciations than the BTV announcers she has complained about, have been placed in important research, teaching, medical professions in the U.S.
And the last time I checked, nobody complained about them not being smart because they pronounce words differently. On a side note, using curse words like, "what the hell?" does not make one any smarter either.
