When English is your only language and you can’t even get that right, maybe who’s running for mayor shouldn’t be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.

Saying “pronounce it how it is spelled” has proven to be completely unhelpful to USians in my experience. They almost don’t associate all letters with particular sounds since English has at least 2 vowel sounds per vowel letter and odd rules with silent letters, and voiced and unvoiced sounds.
I speak Spanish which I use to help myself remember how tf to spell words in English. USians are also woefully uneducated
Usually when people mispronounce Zohran in a way worth correcting, it’s because they say Zorhan, which isn’t a matter of ambiguity but of jumbling letters. Like when Eric Adams kept calling the “Intifada” the “Infintada”
It’s even more egregious with his surname for the same reason.
Most Americans never actually learn to read, apparently.
This is a real issue in the education space, apparently they’re taught, like, to rely on pictures to guess words? They don’t even try to teach ‘sound it out’.
