It's Pronounced BOLE-ah-jack

As if she doesn't have enough things to worry about, Heather Bolejack wants to set the record on the proper pronunciation of her name. Jim Shella's Blog sets us straight:

On a related matter, you may have noticed some confusion in the pronounciation of Heather Bolejack's name. Most people, including Michael McKenna and friends of Bolejack, pronounce it BOLE-jack (two syllables.) Heather and her family, however, pronounce it BOLE-ah-jack (three syllables.) For that reason we here at WISH-TV have changed from the two syllable pronounciation to the three syllable pronounciation.


This reminds me of a guy who used to correct the pronunciation of his last name, which was Fucher. It is pronounced Few-ker he used to say, not Fuh-ker.

I loved that movie--memorable repeated line---IT'S FRANKEN-STINE, NOT FRANKEN-STEEN!
