On the one hand ... “Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.”

On the other hand.. what else are friends there for?

We were playing some game (don't even remember what) back in 2005 and I read a card that said Lebron James as "Lee-bron James".

My wife will not let this go. It's been almost a full 2 decades, but anytime Lebron is mentioned in any context whatsoever, my wife will give me that look like "haha Lee-bron. You moron."

I’m ruined on “Lee-“ anything. , because I think of Leeroy Jenkins. Now I’m just imagining Lebron just charging into every play with no strategy, shouting “Leeee-bron James!”
