TWTD Hive Mind question - how do you pronounce "controversy" on 17:42 - Jan 19 by Keno
come on, be nice lets not create a controversy
I can't find a clip, but there was many many years ago a Two Ronnies sketch in which they were on a discussion programme called Controversy. They agreed on every topic raised, so there was no controversy. As the programme ended with the words 'so it's good night from Controv-ersy', they then started bitterly disagreeing about the pronunciation of the word.
(Following the word's latin roots, it's 'contro-versy'. Probably. Or not.)
