I think it's funny that Tara Reid's character is supposed to be this supposedly smart archeologist and she can't even pronounce "Newfoundland". She basically says it as three separate words. Judi Dench does a much better job of pronouncing it in "The Shipping News".
Well, speaking as a 'Newfie', I can tell you that in real life plenty of people - both the intelligent and the witless, the learned and the dropouts - mispronounce the name of my home; this doesn't make Tara Reid's character unbelievable, it just makes Prof. Cedrac a Mainlander (...which is a derogatory term for 'someone not from Newfoundland' - the 'stupid-' part is assumed, like most such terms for groups of people)
And you thus can't compare this to Agnis Hamm, who is a native Newfie.
In short I'll borrow a famous tech-support quote: "Not a bug; working as intended." 😜

First off I'd like to commend you for having probably the coolest handle on IMDB. Second, I'd like to ask how you get *part* of you post censored by management. That is a high honor indeed. Thirdly, when I finally get around to visiting Newfoundland, can I come visit ? Best,
