[benm3218]

I am going insane listening to every idiot on tv call Plaxico, Plexico Burress. They are paid professionals!!!! Get the name right!!!

[BigMusky]

[pangbones]

Plexy glass Burress

[benm3218]

Well are you suggesting Ebonics here?

[BigMusky]

not everyone pronounces there name like it is spelled. Favre?

another white guy...where does ebonics come into this? That would be Anferny Hardaway....his mom mispelled Anthony on the birth certificate, true story.

[benm3218]

Well I dont know.... but until today I have always heard it pronounced Plaxico. Plexico gripes me.

But on another thought, he looks great.

It actually is pronounced Plexico. He says it that way when they run through the lineups and each player says his name and where they played in college (and some now, high school).

Plaxico (Plexico) Burress.....Michigan State.

it's like del-home and dell-ohm...

announcers are different in how they say names sometimes.

And apparently in the case you stated, it depends heavily if they are educated or not.

whne you are named "plaxico", you by definition lose your right to get mad and mispronunications IMO. What kind of name is that?

Its like lavraneous coles or whatever.
