I assume you mean that they pronounced it with an "H" at the end.
That auto-correcting tool can really be annoying sometimes, can't it?

Kevbo, I doubt Bermuda would be upsrt over it. He'd probably tell you in a polite and civilized manner
Oh, I don't doubt it. I know that Bermuda would tell me in a civilized manner. He certainly didn't act angry at the time, by the way. He just said that he had assumed that the information had been correct, and he asked me to find out for him (which I did). It just worried me later when he stopped posting the on-sale dates. I feel much better about it now.
I doomed myself for this educational year. At the start of the school year, I sat through the freshman meeting because I moved in a day early. The guy in charge of activities was down there listing off events they'd done and events he thought would be cool to have and he mentioned Weird Al, as we had been talking earlier that day.
He said "And we had a suggestion of WEIRD AL YANK - O - VICH"
and I screamed "IT'S YANKOVIC!" in the back of the crowd and the whole group of freshman turned and glared at me and did the "Oooooooooooooo" like we were going to have this epic Kill Bill-esque ninja fight.
I was marked for this year. I regret it. I try not to be "that crazy person" but I screwed up that chance on the first stinking night back in the dorm.
Aron-- Only the second accordionist to ever sit in the trunk of Torsoboy's DeLorean. Al was the first.

August 3rd, 2003 Al came to my town. I knew about it months ahead and I called the venue daily untile tickets wents on sale, sometimes I would call twice a day because I had to get the FIRST ticket. Finally they told me not to call anymore and to order the tickets at the box office, so the box office opened at 10AM this was like a month before the concert and I was there at 8 and got the first ticket!
Those who say nothing is impossible have never tried slamming a revolving door.
I don't really have one, but I guess this will have to do...
About 3 weeks ago, in my homeroom class, I was singing "I Think I'm A Clone Now" and someone told me to stop, I asked 'why?' and he said 'because I have a headache and I don't like "Weird Al" Yankovic(h)" I replied back, "WOW! There's a "Weird Al" Yankovic(h)? I did not know that, cause i knew there was a "Weird Al" Yankovic, but not a Yankovic(h)." He said well shut up, you know who I was talking about. And of course right there I got the entire class 'ooooooooooo' toward me. So I guess that's what I regret, that embarassment for sticking up for Al.
I regret not seeing Al when he came to my hometown in 2000 for the RWS tour. I don't remember why I didn't go, my friend and I talked about how cool it would be to see Al live. I was a very casual fan at the time (Didja hear that "Eat It" guy is going to be in town?)
Stupid, stupid, late fandom.
On the other hand, I did miss out on the torturous FOUR years until the next album and tour, so I guess it's not all bad...
i regret not being a fan when the PH tour came to australia. i also regret not listening to all of the songs on PH, RWS and GH2 when i borrowed them from a friend, if i had i would have become a fan sooner, but better late than never
The tsunami of immediacy will wash away the flood of grief, and reveal a layer of naive optimism underneath

I regret being only five years old when the debut album came out and therefore ignorant to Al's existence and unable to buy his album or go to his concerts.
