I'm about to lose my goddamn mind.

Jeopardy! has had several clues in the past where both the words in the clues, and sometimes the answers to the clues, come from the Nahuatl language.

They butcher the words. Every. Single. Time.

The contestants as well as the hosts.

There's never any gentle correction. But they correct people for mispronouncing words in other languages 🙄

The "tl" in Nahuatl words is pronounced as a voiceless alveolar lateral affricate, which for the purposes of this post basically means you don't pronounce the "l."

And then, tonight, this clue:

And I thought, great! They have an opportunity here to educate and provide accurate informa-

Aaand the contestant pronounced it na-wat-ul.

And Ken didn't correct him.

It's really becoming impossible to respect Jeopardy! as an educational program when they repeatedly, confidently get things egregiously wrong.
