I once called Farasino farr-uh-see-no until I was informed that it's pronounced Far as I Know.

Then there's that horse that Rick and Sydney Dutrow had named Youbethecan. I always looked at him and thought "You be the can" when it's "You bet he can". Crist mentioned the same thing a while back in his blog and I laughed because I saw the name the way he did.

Sidebar: I just looked him up, and Youbethecan was last seen at Suffolk in October, trained by Marcus Vitali and running for a nickel...

A recent entry at Ellis was "Callmeanicepick". My wife, who worked for an ice company at the time, bet it because she thought it was "Call me an ice pick".

She sure is purty, tho.

That's because you're Italian. It's farr-uh-see-no to me, too. Like a guido last name.
