Does anybody know where this "Boca Ratahn" is that they keep talking about?

I swear there is a guy down there, right in front of that one tree that looks like Howard holding up the peace sign. It is hard to get a good look. They keep changing the shot or the camera pans away.

It is ironic that NBC News did an entire segment the other night about how to properly pronounce "Nevada" (with the "A" as in "apple" sound), and how the network and many politicians frequently mispronounce the name … Then it goes ahead and mispronounces "Boca Raton" around 100 times today?

Wouldn't it be nice if these journalism "professionals" did enough homework to properly pronounce their dateline communities?

Check this out… a great story from Kimberly Miller (!), even though she does slip in the statement "Ask them about the debate's effects on FAU - known traditionally as a commuter university with little school spirit" as she does in every single story she writes about FAU.

Snippet: "But at Florida Atlantic University's Lifelong Learning Center, where about 400 students gathered Thursday to watch the debate on a small movie screen, it was as much about FAU coming of age as it was about the economy, immigration, and health care."
