In a very long time.

One kid literally has the name of the university. The speaker was given BOTH the name and phonetic spelling. She clearly decided not to use her brain and went full phonetic

She used the phonetic spelling but without the phonetic pronunciation lmfao
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

If someone doesn't understand how the phonetic alphabet works, I could see that happening.

Not exactly to this extent, of course, I'd expect like three names before someone did something.

Did the phonetic spelling not have any spaces?

Why would they pick an illiterate person to read the names. She should have been pulled off the stage with a cane after the third one.

This is sad. This is an illiterate person or the worst case of dylexia ever. Why?

The only way I can make sense of this is that the speaker is trying to make a point about how frequently some African-American names are mispronounced.
He's all alone through the day and night.

Yeah after like two or three completely butchered names, someone else on the stage should have stepped in.
See you next Wednesday.

The mispronunciations at the Jefferson College of Nursing commencement ceremony, which occurred May 9, according to the university's website, were attributed to the phonetic spellings written on the speaker's cards, the school said in a statement on X Friday.

For example, graduate Sarah Virginia Brennan's name was pronounced " Sayer Oo-voon Geen-goo Bree-none," according to a video from the ceremony. Maeve Elizabeth was pronounced "May-vee Lee Zu-beth." A Stephanie's first name was pronounced "Eff-uni," and a Jessica, "Jay-sic-u."

Even the explanation is a huge what the fuck. Where did they get geen-goo. Sounds like some bullshit.

It's both hilarious and sad. Some of their looks were depressing.

The only way I'd be okay with this if it's a genuinely mentally challenged person reading the names, as an inspirational thing or something. I'd give it an a+ all around, but whatever the fuck they were doing here with the names, fuck off with that, these people worked entirely too hard to be an internet meme.

Also, a shame there wasn't an A A Ron.

The worst part is I am pretty sure free text to voice software could do a better job and names are literally the hardest things for software like that to get right.

The names were mostly common names that Alexa or google assistant could pronounce easily.
