‘Atchafalaya’ Is Very Easy For Outsiders To Mispronounce, But This May Be The Worst Ever
We knew it would happen, but we had no clue it would be this bad.
Anytime we have a severe weather threat that gets covered by the national media, reporters always get caught up on the word "Atchafalaya." I can truly tell you that I've never heard it mispronounced this bad before, and it seems like many are in agreement based on the number of shares it has gotten on Facebook.
Facebook user Evan Fontenot posted the clip to his page and it has been shared over 10,000 times in 2 hours.
We're still waiting for Barry to exit the area, but until he's gone we can totally expect the weather memes to continue. Be safe out there.
