Death Inside

I'm listening to a Teaching Company audionbook on the history of Israel and Palestine and everytime the professor say Rothschild and pronounces it like "Roth's Child" or even "rough child" I die a bit inside

My all time fave event like this was when a TV commentator pronounced "embarrassed" as ember - assed :)

I always like to pretend that the true root of the word is em - bare - assed (yes, I realize it has no "e").

We know some of the English Rothschilds and they now pronounce themselves 'Rothchild', the 'child' pronounced as in the English word 'child' (little person, Kind).

I assumed as much. But I can't help it. It's a gut reaction. Then again the Rothschild they were talking about actually lived in France. So chances are that he pronounced himself altogether differently.
