An Olympic Disaster
McGuire & Co. - it may be that I am forced to watch the Olympics via your hideously over commercialised channel, but I shouldn’t be forced to listen to such slovenly pronunciation.
If one more of your crew describes an olympian's campaign as disas-TER-ous, I’m boycotting.
You’re adding an extra syllable - the word is disastrous (dɪzaːstrəs or dəzaːstrəs).
Quite frankly, I find it disastrous that other more worthy media outlets are having to resort to demonstrating races using LEGO figurines: http://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-usain-bolt-gold-100-20120807,0,1878460.story
Cute, but a disastrous outcome for an event that is supposed to be for the people.
