"How to Pronounce Everything\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. How To Pronounce Hamburger\nThis seems like a good place to start. Many of the words are simple words that are rarely mistaken for being pronounced any other way. They abide by the phonetic laws of English. When they're pronounced incorrectly, it's pretty darn funny.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. How to Pronounce Rendezvous\nSome of the words are trickier to say because of their derivation and silent letters.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. How to Pronounce Champagne\nChampagne isn't really a word that's often mispronounced because it's such a commonly used word.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. How to Pronounce Synecdoche\nWere you aware of this word before it was the title of a popular Phillip Seymour Hoffman movie? Did you know how to pronounce it? Don't lie.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. How to Pronounce Hors d'oeuvres\nWe all know that it means small finger food, but could you spell it correctly if put to the test? Good thing this exists then, eh?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. How to Pronounce Wednesday\nProbably the most difficult day of the week to learn to spell in grade school, right?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. How to Pronounce Ferrari\nThe creators moved onto pronouncing well-known brands. Some brands are definitely easier to pronounce than others, at least when you see them spelled out for the first time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. How to Pronounce Chipotle\nSometimes brands will purposely make a word tricky to pronounce so that it causes you to try and repeat it in your mind. This makes it stick and also creates a conversation between you and your friends, which is great for them because it's all free advertising essentially. This is great because it sounds ridiculous.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. How to Pronounce Guinness\nThe venerable beer brand lies somewhere in between. Our guess is that you learn how to pronounce 'Guinness' long before you see it spelled.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. How to Pronounce Laphroaig\nAnother fermented entry, this time of the Scottish, single malt whiskey variety.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. How to Pronounce Baltrakon\nPerhaps exposure of this obscure Canadian t-shirt brand will bring it some recognition. The designs are pretty cool.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12. How to Pronounce Justin Bieber\nYep. Inevitable, right? Moving into the celebrities and how to pronounce their names, one must start with the star of all stars.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13. How to Pronounce Stieg Larsson\nMr. Larsson's fame has been on an endless skyward streak, but if you're like us you can remember back to before you know about Lisbeth and her twisted tale. You just simply wondered how to pronounce the author's name as you stared at the cover of the book held by someone random on the train.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14. How to Pronounce Ellen DeGeneres\nEllen's a great sport and she certainly loves internet treasures on YouTube so we're hoping she's seen this and got a small kick out of it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15. How to Pronounce Joaquin Phoenix\nEven though Joaquin may have sworn off acting for good, we can all remember how funny it was to hear someone try to pronounce the name of the actor playing Johnny Cash.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouTube videos encompass virtually every niche and genre known to man. Falling somewhere in between silly and educational, the PronunciationManual channel has made a science out of hilariously incorrect eight-second word pronunciations.\nWe corresponded via email with the anonymous creator of the videos to find out what inspired the project.  \nIt appears that the channel was not launched as a satire on the PronouncationBook, a channel dedicated to pronouncing some of the more whacky-looking English words, but created out of benevolence. \n\"I am a very good person, so with the combination of being a very good person and knowing that people need help, it was a natural fit, like how celebrities take away poor infant children from terrible villages to live inside of custom Bottega Veneta child holsters, except in the form of pronunciation videos on YouTube.\"\n\nSEE ALSO: 15 Best \u2018Sh*t People Say\u2019 Videos\nAsked to provide any sort of background information, the creator was recalcitrant. But the person behind the curtain certainly wasn't shy about the process of identifying and pronouncing new words \u2014 or that they have easy access to an online thesaurus. \n\"I think up a word that people might not know how to say, and then I type it into the video window, and then I say it out three times in a clear and strong voice, and then I click the other button, and the computer puts it on youTube, and then I exeunt the eldritch, crystal-encrusted and sweetgrass scented Pronunciation Ark that I built in my back yard...\" \nTotally makes sense now, right?\nRegardless of who is behind it all, the word humor tickles our writing funnybone and we find some of the videos to be downright hilarious. If you enjoy them as much as we do, you'll end up clicking through as many as possible to see which ones are winners and which are losers. \nLet us know which pronunciations you think are the best and if you think this meme has the strength to dethrone the now infamous \"Sh*t People Say\" videos."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
