Dear NBC,

I know there isn't much time left, but would you please make your on-air staff learn how to pronounce Beijing?

Thanks,

Rainherder

Dear David Bauder, AP Television Writer,

Would you please ask S. Robert Ramsey, if the zh sound isn't used in the English language, how are we supposed to pronounce words like "pleasure," "measure," and "leisure"?

Thanks,

Rainherder

Dear Drinking Game Enthusiasts,

I know there isn't much time left, but if you haven't started already, you could make a quite serviceable drinking game out of NBC's Olympic coverage by taking a drink every time someone on their on-air staff mispronounces Beijing. Just sayin'.
