If we must discuss 24/7, can we at least pronounce it correctly? (Qur'an = koran)

If I hear Tweety say Coor'-Anne one more time I am going to SCREAM!

It (qur'an = koran) is pronounced: koor-AHN


**********

I don't mind seeing the word anglicized to koran, but can we at least not totally bastardize the pronunciation? It really isn't that hard. (BTW, it isn't EYE-RACK (Iraq) or EYE-RAN (Iran) either.

End of rant and I feel much better. Thank you! ;)

3. He should pronounce it correctly since he has such a stick up his butt on the proper pronounciation

of the war criminal Dick Cheney.

Haven't been able to stand seeing/hearing his nonsense for quite a while now.

6. it doesn't bother me...it's a natural reflex to pronounce things

Based on how it's written and it is written as Kor-An.

But you've got your work cut out for you when most Americans can't pronounce Iraq after years of war with said country.
