How do you pronounce "palm" ?

I still don't know if I pronounce Rene Auberjonois correctly

I say oo-bah-jun-wah

I always said Ah-ber-jun-wah. WIth the "j" sound like a "shz"

I get called out on bad pronunciation by my finicky friends all the time. Usually for words I read more than I hear out loud, and A LOT of times with celebrity names.

That happens to me, too. I remember the first time I used the phrase "impedence mismatch"... I pronounced it as "impotence mismatch".

What's worse, when everyone giggled, I scolded them for being so childish. "It's a real word, you know."

"Why yes, it is... but that's not how you pronounce it."

Needless to say, it took a while to live that one down.

I had to look up the term "impedance mismatch" and I couldn't even understand what it meant, so you're more than one up on me - if that makes you feel better!

Got made fun of just last night by a group of friends for slipping and calling Jon Hamm 'Jack Hamm'. So maybe I don't have a pronunciation problem - maybe my brains are getting to be no good.
