It is one of my very biggest pet peeves...You hear it on voice mail..
."This is Tim, Your ReLAtor in this city" ,
you hear it in introductions..."I am the ReLAtor for the Smith family"....
Hmmmm....you can't say it...you aren't paying attention to detail...
The L comes AFTER the A.....
Get Real.....
Hire a REAL-TOR.....
Gotta wonder if you can Pronounce it...how can you BE it ?

You betcha Bucky...I mean Darin :) !
LOL I have heard this a TON of times. I do not bother to correct people, but just read the word... the A comes after the L, just like you said.
Ya gotta wonder....if they can't read...what else can't they do ....?
Too funny.... but sometimes I'm guilty of pronouncing other words wrong! Lets hope they can do their jobs right! Thats what counts in the end!
You bet Jess....though that "attention to detail" thing...like spelling...gotta wonder...
How about this one guys!
IRREGARDLESS! This is probably WORSE than the mispronounciation of Realtor!
THERE IS NO WORD IRREGARDLESS!
It is merely, REGARDLESS!!!! ARGHHHH!
You guys are awesome!
Signed, er....Bucky..
I mean, D - Money!! :)
hey Bucky...maybe we should write a dictionary for the verbally challenged...ya wanna ?
I attended a class one time where the instructor was pointing out the proper way to say Realtor.
I thought to myself, are we here to learn the topic at hand or the pronunciation of Realtor?
And then you think...if they can't say it...or spell it...how can they BE it ????
