The evening news presenter insists on pronouncing 'Nike' as a single syllable. It is 'Ny-kee' - two distinct syllables. I corrected him under my breath for the entire broadcast.

This is the sort of thing that makes one wonder whether the station employs a copy editor at all, or if the role was deemed redundant by someone who also says 'expresso.' -- GV

Grammar_Vigil ^ this my sister says the same thing about 'expresso' and I can't even defend it because she's right. Gabe always said Ny-kee too, with emphasis on the second syllable like he was being polite to the word itself
