for mispronouncing names, in an attempt to belittle them, could she just be doing the same?

She acts like it's not important to know that person's correct name. The Repukes love to do that.

And when she mispronounced "timbre" , I felt bad. She's so smart I adore her.

But I have a relative who mispronounced, "lingerie " as LING-A-REE.
