Do you pronounce Iran “I-ran” or “Ee-raan”? When I hear one or the other I definitely make a judgment on the person. Anyone else do that?

Pronounce it like the Iranians pronounce it. Everything else is wrong

Sales force 1 is spot on here. The French say ‘Pah-REE’ - I’ve never heard an American talk about their Paris trip not use the s on the end. And quite honestly I would think they sounded ridiculous if they said pah-REE unless they were speaking in French.

Exactly, why do we mispronounce countries?

Eye-ran. Don’t care. OP, your judgments are probably accurate. Don’t care about that either.

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people. First of all highly inappropriate, but also it's nobody's business. She's made comments before outside of work about how her boss is gay, blah blah blah. I'm just at a loss. Should I report it to HR? And if I do, how do I do it without it being known that it came from me??

President Donald Trump really wanted a made-for-TV moment when he left the hospital. While he was at Walter Reed getting treated for COVID-19, the president pushed the idea of looking weak and frail when he left the hospital only to rip open his button-down shirt and reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath, according to the New York Times.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
