"Reel-a-tors" bug me.
I used to just ignore them. But in recent years I've been known to blurt out an occasional course correction whenever someone does the deed. They say "Reel-a-tor" when they should be saying it as it's spelled, "Realtor." Unfortunately, and more often than not, I find the person saying it is a card-carrying member of NAR!
Reminds me of something David Fletcher wrote a couple of years ago. The gist of which was:
You would think after spending no doubt multimillions of dollars establishing the Realtor brand, that members of the NAR would know how to pronounce it... It is awkward to say the least to be associated with an organization that its members cannot pronounce and the public doesn't understand. What's even worse is to be in front of a very sharp agent, fully competent in every way, who is introducing herself or himself as being a REAL-A-TOR when the consumer knows the agent is mispronouncing the word...
Okay, that's my rant for the day.
Thinking of your success.
