Has anyone else noticed or wondered at PC's mispronunciation of our most popular piece of cutlery? When they first introduced the knife 2 years ago, they called it the "Santuko" knife. I immediately cringed--the Food Network junkie that I tend to be, I know that it's spelled and pronounced "San-toe-koo," like "Sudoku" puzzles. It's been bothering me for months, when I hear it in the training materials, when I hear other people say it wrong. I know it sounds really picky, but to me, mispronouncing words can speak badly of how well we know our products. Is anyone with me on this?
Please don't misunderstand me, I make lots of mistakes in my demos. I've given out wrong information, said things I wish I hadn't. I call myself the "Pampered" Chef, not the "Perfect" Chef. But I strive to be as perfect as it is possible to be. And I'm convinced it's "San-toe-koo!"
OK, I've vented. I'm curious to know if anyone else has thought about this little funny mispronunciation?
