I knoooooooow. I was starting to twitch every time they messed it up.
I was also starting to doubt my own experiences to the point where my search history includes "how to pronounce Quinnipiac", "how to say Quinnipiac", and "phonetic spelling of Quinnipiac".

I never knew how it was pronounced. National news has been pronouncing it wrong for several decades.

When I was a student at Hamden High, we wondered where were his private parts.

Seriously, who cares about pronunciation as long as someone spells it right?

But pronunciation does matter to hearing people, especially when the syllable being emphasized is "pee". It just seems inappropriate.
