I wonder how come he has pronounced as "Dick-shit"..really unbelievable..
The TV host is insensible.He should be sacked for his behavior and attitude towards other country men.
First, my request is- Replace 'Misprounciation' with 'mispronunciation'. It is okay to write 'pronounce' but as noun, this is 'pronunciation.
Secondly, the mispronunciation is deliberate and humiliating. Nit just suspension but exemplary punishment is called for.
OK Gulshan I have replaced the misspelled word..but i couldnt understand your comment...further.. :S
Mispronunciation - People laugh or feel awkward when they hear a public speaker mispronounce words. A structured session at the speech laboratory with a speech therapist can solve the problem.
I appriciate the Newzeland Govt. several times Mispronunciation the name Smt. Shila Dixit CM, Delhi by the TV announcer is irregular, hence he suspended. be cautious while pronunciation.

The mispronunciation was not a real mistake. This was deliberate for insulting Sheila Dixit. You know what 'shit' means. Calling some one 'shit' is annoying and insulting. You may excuse mistake but not deliberate insult. This was my comment.
OK OK... :P Gulshan..Now i could understand...Thanks for clearly my doubt.. :)
I think the TV host has not yet apologized to the honorable Chief Minister of Delhi. :( :(
