Tut, tut.

I am always amazed at persons who make a fortune being in the public eye who mispronounce simple words. Today it was Steve Harvey. This enormously successful and likable celebrity stars on The Family Feud and has his own personal show. Yet today on the feud, he repeated over and over again the mispronunciation ath-a-lete. How is it possible that someone as successful can make such a ignorant mistake again and again? Doesn't anyone on the show take him aside and tell him the correct pronunciation or doesn't anyone know? To make it even more egregious, a contestant pronounced it properly.
