Thank you for taking my call. I was wondering about verticalnet Bill: You no,, buffer invest, you need no know how to pronounce the name of the company. >> I had a stroke and i am aa little bit I've never been required by any broker to know how to pronounce the name of any company I chose to invest in. And I suspect that being able to pronounce a company's name correctly has less relevance than the Super Bowl indicator. I'd say a better rule is that you need to know how to pronounce the name of a company before you report on it. This clearly is not a rule at CNBC because the on air talent (and I use the word talent jokingly) mispronounce company names frequently. And today, Bill Griffeth couldn't even get Joe Morgenstern's name right, a guest he has on weekly. So who is he to criticize anyone else, especially callers to the show?

CNBC, the day in review Tyler: Was easy going, Max Headroom. Liz: Smiled a lot. Maria: Looked nice dressed in seasonal earth tones. Bob: Made a bunch of faces while talking (kinda like Elaine on Seinfeld). Bill: Dripped his coolness and talked in bumper stickers (he said). Ted: Knew what he was talking about. Sue: Couldn't get Larry and what's his face to shut up. Ron and Dave: Cracked good jokes about the true life trials of company parking. Bonnie: Looked hot. Alina: Told us who died today (with a smile). Pat: Made me think he and some guys that look like him were going to start singing. Steve: Wore a shirt that was a good color and never laughed while reporting on Peapod. 909S2ALL, BLUE
