    The "Words Are Here, There, and Everywhere" initiative was developed in partnership with PNC Grow Up Great. For more info, visit: sesamestreet.org/words

      quarkwrok If its half and half in America than most people in the world pronounce it "scoan", and honestly, Id say they're right, at least to the extent that it is possible for a word with two distinct and widely used pronunciations to have one correct pronunciation. Hank Green does a good job of explaining why in his vlogs on the pronunciation of "GIF"

      I'd argue that Jim Henson didn't create Sesame Street. He did assist for a year or two back in '69-'70, helping create a couple of characters, but didn't do a whole lot after that. Sesame Street is literally not The Muppets.

      ⁠@@georgemcduffey2622ok, if you separate “creating all the muppets for Sesame Street” from “creating Sesame Street” yeah, then I guess. You’re saying the voice of Kermit the Frog, the voice of Ernie, the creator of Cookie Monster, the director of the original “C is for Cookie” segment just “helped” or “assisted”? I mean, if you’re just an idiot, I might forgive you, but you have google, man. Couldn’t even bother to look it up?

    • @-j2367
      @-j2367 Рік тому

      Apparently John Oliver and Seth Meyers agree - they said in an interview with each other on Meyers' show that (both having worked with Muppets for a skit) both of them caught themselves dealing almost exclusively with the puppets and not the human, you know, KNEELING NEXT TO THEM. As I understand it, the Muppeteers would have it no other way. They're a credit to their craft.
