So the story behind this is that the announcer was not given cue cards with the names on them, she was given cards with phonetics instead, but she herself wasn't told they were phonetics. So, for example, instead of "Victoria Elizabeth Bruce", her card read "Vick tory uh E-lih-zu-bith bruh-ce" They gave her these without showing her the ACTUAL names too, so she had to figure out the correct spelling herself cause the phonetics were fucked up too. I feel so bad because now the Internet is clowning on her when the school did this.
If it was like our graduation the graduates were the ones that had to fill out the phonetics. So it was probably all over the place on that end too cause you just had to try and figure out how your name was written phonetically by just sounding it out. Two people could have two completely different phonetic ways for the same exact name
The part with Allison sounded like Allisoona because the "na" was part of nicole. if you listen closely you only hear "cole" after you hear "Allisoona" but the announcer for some reason takes a brief pause between "na" and "cole"
@@_._._._._._._._._._._._._._... in the phonetics the "na" in nicole tripped her up making it look like one word on the paper so she read it as allisoona, it was probably written as [AL] + [I] + [SUHN] + [NUH] + [KOHL] which can easily be read as allisoona cole
@@lobsterskunk9237 Is that really how phonetics are written? That would totally throw me off and make me say names wrong. Nuhcole is not going to sound like Nicole is supposed to
@@lobsterskunk9237 that's fair, maybe some people would read NUH KOHL correctly as Nicole. This is why we need to rely on standardized phonetics instead of whatever the hell happened at this graduation lol
Okay so she was supposedly given a phonetic spelling of each name which ended up making them harder to read. Why did she not have the actual names AND the phonetic spellings? And more importantly, why did nobody stop her?
That was the story they made to cover for her 😭. They actually had the names right above the phonetics lmfao. Look it up, the cards are literally posted online.
It seems like there wasn't a space between the first, middle, and last names. So the extra "ah" sound in Allison was the i in Nicole (her middle name).
I remember my principal being noticeably drunk at my graduation, she was slurring when she announced every name. I wonder if its just a thing that the person who calls the names gets hammered before every graduation ceremony
At my college graduation we handed the announcer our cards and said our name to him so he wouldn't mispronounce it...but yeah give someone phonetic pronunciations with no reference of actual spelling instead...great Thomas Jefferson College
it's legit, she was only given the phonetic spellings off all the names. Which is an even worse look, because phonetic spellings are suppose to make it easier to pronounce words 😂
@@MrAirZone25 Then the person who wrote the cards didn't really know how to use phonetics. Or if she wasn't a native English speaker, she'd have a difficult time using phonetics. Letters make different sounds in different languages.
I was in the crowd for my sister, who was graduating for nursing. Let me just say, we and everyone else in the crowd were baffled. Luckily, by time my sister went up, someone new was announcing the names!
I could see the "alisuna" if the sheet or whatever she was reading off of didn't include pauses or anything and just had the full phonetic pronunciation straight through for the entire name. It sounds like just poorly organized, or they just like, pasted all the names in to chatgpt and copied the result without looking to see if it made sense.
She was saying Allisonni Cole Bishop instead of Allisson Nicole Bishop. She was saying the "Ni" from Nicole at the end of Allison. My guess is that the phonetics didn't clearly show the spaces between words.
This is absolutely insane… since when is the phonetic pronunciation not in addition to the traditional spelling?! Who on earth thought this was a good idea wow. And to think no one thought to quickly pause, get this sorted, and run it back is also wild. You mess up 10 names and I’m stopping graduation to make sure I don’t get hundreds of pissed off parents and students. Hopefully they did. This is too much though.
Reminds me of the time a substitute told the class that if he gets anyone's name Wrong with mispronouncing he'd give them 20 dollars Immediately first name mans had to pay uo
Reminds me of my college graduation. Things were a bit screwed from the beginning, because apparently we were in the wrong seats. Told to write out how our names were pronounced prior to graduation day . Didn’t even use them. There was one girl, the announcer didn’t even try to pronounce it just flat said “whatever your name is”.
Students put in 4+ years of work and studying and tens of thousands of dollars, and yet the university can’t be bothered to put in just a little bit of time and effort to get the graduation ceremony right. All of those students entire college experiences (and entire lives) have been building to that very moment, and it gets ruined by a lack of proper preparation. If I was one of those students, I’d be mad. If I was a parent of one of those students, I’d be absolutely furious, especially if I was recording the event for posterity.
@@cooperramos2700 what's the point of phonetics again? Oh yeah to force you to pronounce words OBVIOUSLY, then yes. Are you going to make the claim phonetics don't force you to pronounce words cause that would be the dumbest argument I had in a long time please do
@@hizzy70you’re assuming these were written and read by professionals when OBVIOUSLY they were most likely written by the students themselves, having no experience writing phonetics, making them inconsistent.

I'd be concerned she'd had a stroke, otherwise i'ts just rude to the students who dedicated their time to come up and get their award to be disrespected like this.
A couple people were saying they gave her cards that had the names put down phonetically and this woman isn't a native speaker so she didnt know they were written phonetic so she read stuff like E-Liz-ah-Beth as a foreign name.
For ours we littlerally had him go through two kids middle names 4 times and he fucked both of them up. Marie-thereas (almost prounced like a french 3) And Darell, which he said drill... oh boy.
My last name got mispronounced at my high school and college graduation as well.. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped correcting people . At least try to say someone's name properly..
Bro, when I graduated high school, the announcer pronounced my name incorrectly. Even though they told all of us students that if they don't want their name pronounced incorrectly at graduation, we go down to the office to sign our names so that doesn't happen. 🗿
Phonetics is that thing you see in dictionary descriptions that's supposed to help sound out words. The problem is it's sorta in a code/shorthand so if you're not aware of what certain symbols mean you can't really pronounce the corresponding sound correctly.
@@sarahr9894 yea those greek like letters and all crazy punctuations were the things that initially slowed me down while i was learning english , and the teacher was always like 'read it like it is written in fonetics' which is still confusing to me because they have never teached us those, so like most people in my country i learned through music and movies with subs (Polish dubb is atrocious in everything other than animated movies and first two hp movies). I know 4 languages (badly but it counts) and fonetic alphabet is still beyound me
Tin foil hat here but what if they gave her a paper with all the names but its all togerther so she had to figure our where the first name started and ended
Seems like she was purposefully mispronouncing any name that she deemed “American” just to try and “get back” at people who have mispronounced foreign names in the past. Really immature and pathetic for an adult to do.
She’s lucky the school didn’t hand her a list of offensive words and racial slurs, as she obviously lacks the common sense to rectify the glaringly obvious problem - even after being corrected multiple times. She’s either a brilliant troll or a baseless idiot. Can’t have it both ways.
Are you really that smooth-brained? You think they would ask a dyslexic person to read names at graduation? Get off the internet for a bit dude, you need to refresh your brain irl.

When graduating you speak your name into an automated system that phoneticizes names. It did so badly.
For the Allison one, it was definitely just her combining the first and middle name, it sounded like "Allison-ni Cole Bishop"
all to try and avoid messing up the few actual hard names
