That means he's desperate, so he'll settle for pretty much anything. He might even raise your grade.
Of course, he might lower it, too. I slept with a prof once. I had a B+ in the class but wanted an "A". I ended up with a D-. Jes sayin'. |

I have an A. That's why I've been biting my tongue. I have nothing to lose by staying quiet except my SANITY.

that merriam-webster pronunciation is pretty good for an anglicized version.

Just how many times can the word bourgeoisie come up or is he just going out of his way to use it?

It comes up a lot in sociology, because we discuss Marx's (and Weber's) view on everything we come across. It's pretty much every class, and
justifiably since he follows the text so closely.

Do you have to last all the way to December? That would drive me fucking insane to hear that the whole semester. I'd be correcting him under my breath
every single time.

Perhaps you could use it in a sentence in response to a question, making a point to pronounce it correctly and put extra emphasis on the word.

I'll probably go the say-it-out-loud-in-class way, but I suspect he's been saying it this way too long for it to sink it in. I'll do my best,
though.

Participate in the classroom discussion next time & pronounce it the correct way. If he "corrects" you then point your finger at him & say "Goddammit! You're wrong!!" |

If you decide to go with Ouija's suggestion I can mail it from my school, so it will come from a totally different part of the country.

If you can hold out, just write about it in the course evaluation.

I don't want to hurt his feelings, I just want him to magically stop saying it.

A guy back in one of my lit courses got into it with the fake-foreign prof over the pronunciation of forte. He coincidentally had to redo an assignment later - we were supposed to dissect anything in the book, but the prof changed it when he found out the guy had done some longassed psalm that nobody even knew was in the book. I laughed. |
