I couldn’t resist much as I tried but today on Clay and Buck, Buck waxed eloquently about stochastic terrorism. Apparently some wingnuts on the left are using this to automatically claim that the shootings at the gay nightclub in Colorado were because of conservatives. Now it’s all complete nonsense and I actually studied stochastic statistics at least 52 years ago. But here’s the point of this rant. When Buck was talking about it, he was pronouncing it stow chastic. It’s stow castic. At first I thought maybe I misremembered but I have never heard it pronounced like he did and then he came back after the break to admit he had mispronounced it and his excuse was that he had never heard the word and was just pronouncing based on seeing it in print. Rule number one. Before you pontificate on anything at least know how to pronounce it.
