Lady didn't say the G in the word swimming And the judge said wrong.

I would've let it go and said it was right. What do you all think?

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Apparently that is a rule on Wheel of Fortune. Sounds like BS to be honest.

Is it really a rule? I just assumed the judge was having a bad and he took it out on her.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Now, this is a delicate question, but what if the woman who didn't pronounce the "G" in the word was of an ethnicity where such verbiage is common and not considered "incorrect"?

In other words, if she had said "swimmin'" and was African American? Do you think that would have resulted in the same outcome or would the "judges" have let it go? And if they did, what does that say about our culture and how we treat/accept/allow such different outcomes based on an exterior and subjective matter?
