- Anyway Jacobi does a good job on a bunch of American characters' accents, with a few exceptions, one of which is having an American pronounce "patent" like "pay-tent"
- I also take issue ("issss-you") with his pronunciation of "brochure" (BRO-shurr)
- He really puts the bro in brochure
- But I am not perfect—turns out I've been mispronouncing Derek Jacobi's surname for 50 years. It's JACK-oh-bye, not Jack-COH-bee.
- I always pronounced it JACK-o-bee. Damn.May 13, 2025 03:20
