My dad used to drive me crazy when he would say (or correct everyone) mozzarella. The funny part is we’re Mexican/American. I would always ask him how did he know he was saying is correctly.

I’ve had my proper pronunciation of bruschetta “corrected” by servers here in the US. Annoying!

I even hear gnocchis (double plural!) pronounced “no-chees!”

You’re telling me Susie! The best part is how they say it with such confidence and flair like its authentic. Porca Miseria!

Yes, it’s my voice, this was a precursor to my podcast, I guess 🙂

Completely agree with you! Loved your comment – thanks for stopping by!

I just found your website, and I love it. I’m the guy who tells his friends – before going out to a new Italian restaurant, “OK, I’ll go, but I’m telling you now that if the adjectives on the menu don’t agree with the nouns, there’s going to be trouble!”

I hear you! This is one of my top annoyances in life (I have a pretty good life, clearly!)
