I was there. My wife is part of this class. This was 100% real. She was reading the phonetic spelling on the cards and ignoring the actual spelling. The laughter and groans from the crowd were cringe worthy. She finally started to get them right after the first 3 rows of names.
@@debbiebankscell if you look at the video the students are handing them a card. It has their name spelled fully and right below it is the phonetic spelling. It’s unbelievable that the phonetic is supposed to help, but it only confuses the hell out of this girl
I’m laughing at her and she definitely deserves backlash lol BUT …as hard as it is to get jobs nowadays.. I don’t blame people lying on their applications to put food on their table
0:44 love how Victoria Elizabeth Bruce rolls with it. She's like, Oh, okay, while laughing across the stage. But Thomas Canevari was the best, now known simply as, Thomas. This is gold.

A lot of these people think they are really smart because they read a bunch of books, then memorized a bunch of stuff for standardized test. They tend to be severely lacking in actual working intelligence, common sense and logic. I have a friend like this. He thinks just because he reads through books that inherently makes him smart.
Seriously, I'm a speech-language pathologist and can read and write phonetics. Thomas would look like /tamus/ so I don't know where on earth Tamumay came from.
I read that the students wrote the phonetics themselves. I think it probably looked something like "TAH-muhs MY-kel..." and she is possibly a little dyslexic, so she saw "Tah-muh-may."
From what I understand, the name cards she was given only had the names spelled phonetically. Supposedly it makes it easier to pronounce them, but in reality it makes it impossible to decipher what the name really is. You can hear her frustrated sighs before several of the mistakes. My college had cards with both the phonetic and regular spelling of our names specifically because of this problem.
I’m amazed the students remained so composed. I would’t have been able to contain my laughter. The fact that they’re such generic names like Thomas makes it even funnier. “A-a-ron!” moment.😂
I dunno. DEI hires have been making it to surprisingly high places lately, with shockingly low qualifications.. Claudine Gay being perhaps the most infamous example.
@@bliglum You should try obsessing less about people of color and focusing more on your own happiness and success. I'd bet that Claudine Gay has a significantly higher IQ than you.
@@bliglum White dudes should honestly just start saying they identify as *insert minority race/sexual orientation* so they qualify under DEI. Nobody can say anything either because you could probably just sue them for discrimination or something.
That is sad that they can't read a name off....and I would have stopped her...and said my name is Insert Name here...but she would probably say Insert Name here...
Even if you have the phonetic names, after a few... How many? 3-4 of the strangest first and last names ever wouldnt you be like, ok, give me the other book. But she kept at it, lmao.
OMG what the hell was that school thinking letting someone who doesn’t understand basic pronunciation say all the names at a college graduation, damn. Terrible publicity for #thomasjeffersonuniversity 🤦♀️
should have got someone that speaks and reads English. Obviously she can't do a proper job of it. If I had been a parent of one of those students, I would have been really pissed off. Actually, I am royally pissed off and this has nothing to do with me.
Lee Zubithross ....... Elizabeth Bruce? How would get that even from a phonetic spelling? There is something else going on here that is not being told.
I am so much grateful to God and happy for my name sake Nonso Trinitas Onwuako(nee Amandi of Ikpa Ozuakoli Urualla) who graduated with high distinction at this university. Nonso my daughter for primary, very intelligent girl endowed by God. Humble girl and wise one. Since i heard her performances here, my joy is a lot.
I think it was on purpose. Everyone’s giving her a pass but she sounds foreign and probably tired of people butchering her name so she decided to do this and see how long she could get away with it. I don’t care what excuse she or anyone has, getting the name Thomas wrong as an employee of Thomas Jefferson University sounds spiteful, not a phonetic problem.
Worst part is that was an act and this is just. Wow. She even mispronounced the name of someone who shares the name of the university. Regardless how you see this, whether its the staff picking someone who doesn't know english or they're that stupid, this should be seen as a prime example as to why we are failing as a species lmfaoooo

She should have stopped and asked herself…. What the hell is going on?
exactly. EVERYBODY doesn't have foreign sounding names, girl.
Yeah, if she weren't stoned and/or drunk out of her mind then that might have occurred to her.
They spent $46,175 for this moment 🥴
Probably closer to $60k-$70k. Lol
Per year... For 4 years...
They spent FOUR TIMES that amount, CG.
Worth every penny
I mean the name of the school is Thomas and she couldn't even get that right.
That's because she was not there based on merit, she was there because of DEI.
And soon, she'll be coming to an operating room near you!
@@bliglum. And people like her will be flying planes, according to Boeing.

bro this shit like that one key and peele skit 😭
She can’t be this slow. Ma am? Nothing seemed wrong to you?
Actually, she is that slow.
She was drunk. Probably.
They got Thomas wrong! They work at the school with the aame name!
This is absurd. A joke.

let's hear it for Tom mu may!
Tah moo may Thomas
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the average employee working in education.
Someone called 911 because they thought the sign language translator was having a stroke.
i would pay to know how she pronounced Tugce Cakir, it would be fucking iconic if she got that one right

LMAOOO
As a graduate I will have taken over the mic and say my name correctly!
They owe a debt to Thamumay (THOMAS!). She only realized something was wrong after he corrected her. If he never did that, she would have kept going.
So you're saying we could have had another hour like that? Can't believe Thamumay did us dirty like that, that doesn't sound like him at all.

Was she reading smoke signals? Wtf 😂

"Molly" has 2 syllables, not 3.
@@crazyrobots6565 they clearly meant to say molina has an n and 3 syllables…
This is what I'm saying. Nothing about this seems at all like she is reading the phonetics. It seems like she is having a medical issue.
She must have no idea what phonetic spelling is. Maybe she was like, “What the hell is this?”
A-Aron. Does this University put ‘smiley🙂 stickers’ on their diplomas

How does a person get a PhD and manage this?
I don’t think graduation announcing requires a Ph.D., though this university may now make that a requirement.
Because I'm pretty sure she doesn't have her PhD in reading phonetic spellings. Yes, it's ridiculous. But it has nothing to do with her degrees
Absolute clown show.. THIS IS UNIVERSITY!!!! Hire someone who can READ!!
The continual decline in the value of a college degree summed up in one video
Oh yeah because one person who can't read phonetic spellings is TOTALLY related to the value of a college education
