quote:

The announcer at a Thomas Jefferson University graduation ceremony majorly butchered graduates' names to the point that it's all social media can talk about.

In pronunciations you have to hear to believe, the announcer struggled to say very simple monikers like Elizabeth and Allison — and even Thomas, which is in the name of the college.


quote:

When someone else questioned how the person could be allowed to continue, the original poster later said that the errors were due to phonetic spellings, and at one point, the woman apologized for the mistakes.

It’s like she thinks everyone’s name is from other countries.

My kid graduated from UGA this morning. We were commenting about how well the announcer did with the names. He was enthusiastic, clear and flawless.

Found out after the ceremony the announcer was AI.

The graduates pronounced their name and it was stored to a QR code then the AI voice pronounced the name from the QR code on the student’s card.

I had yankee professors that would chop up Boudreaux and Thibodeaux in their pronunciations. She was out of this world.
