It is Sonia so-toe-my-YOR, for all you reasonable people

Obama’s Supreme Court nominee’s name is pronounced SOAN-ya so-”toe”-my-YOR, though some right-wingers don’t like the way Sonia Sotomayor pronounces her own name.

Did we have trouble pronouncing the name of the Justice she is tagged to replace? Did we call David Souter, David Sow-ter? Now we all know it’s SOO’-tur. But how many of us have uttered his name in the past several years, before Obama’s nomination of Sotomayor this week?
