Tempest in a Teapawt

Wondering about yesterday's poll? It wasn't there to highlight the fact that I pronounce the first vowel sounds of "father" and "bother" the same way. See, I was watching The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show on Boomerang. To make up for the lack of commercials and pad the program to a half hour, they showed short Aquaman cartoons from the sixties. One opened with the narrator declaring: "As Tusky the Walrus carefully swam along the ocean floor, he noticed a pool of pink toxic liquid!"

Anyway, during the second cartoon, while I did the dishes, I noticed that everyone—the narrator, the villain (The Brain), Aqualad, and even Aquaman himself—pronounced the name "ACK-wa-man." Go fig.
