I’d like to confess that for quite some time I thought ā€œYosemiteā€ was pronounced ā€œyo-sem-iteā€ because I’d only ever read the word, never heard it. (And for at least a little while, when I heard people say ā€œYosemiteā€ properly, I didn’t make the connection between the two.)

For readers this is not uncommon I find. Personally I thought the Idiocracy was hilarious and all I could think of was walking into a room full of the hood homies hearing "yo yo Semite sup up wichu you girly girl? For social reasons I worried it would be rude to share widely.😈

Were either of your over 70 years old and POTUS at the time? If not I think you’re off the hook on this one.
