Yankovich: Why Do We Find It So Annoying?

Post by **weird_el** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 7:22 pm

The -ich ending is the more popular one. I only don't like it when people mispronounce Al's name. Every other (J)Yankovic(h) is entitled to their preferred pronounciation.

in a documentary about kurt cobain they mentioned that 'weird al Yankavitch' made a parody of one of his songs. that's not true. 'weird al yankovic' did.

I thought it was a tennis player. And there probably more famous people with "vic" at the end of their name which is pronounced "vic-h".

is there something weird on the site that changes the name if you write 'Yonkavickacheizzy'? cause it becomes 'yonkovachiezzy' or something. XD

Yeah, you're not allowed to write Yankovich on here.

I really find it funny how I had never heard of Yankovich (ever) until I got to learn more about Al Yankovic

I like knowing HTML

You just wrote Yonkavickacheizzy. So, obviously, it didn't change.

I hate it how some people think that Yankovic is made up, I've even showed them Al's middle school ID in SOL, they thought he made the ID himself...

my mom was completely convinced that his real name was yankovicski. at least she believed the high school picture was real.
