My friend ask me if I'm just as irritated as they are when commentators pronounce footballer's names wrong

I said 'defoe'

Why just one particular footballer’s name though? If the issue was with the mispronunciation of multiple footballers’ names then he may have been justified in his/her/their opinion, but for that soul grammatical faux pass, I’m out.

Sorry, but that joke does not work. The premise of the joke is that people pronounce the names incorrectly whereas your reply, in order to facilitate the humour, involves pronouncing the name correctly. It's not a joke about people not liking abbreviated replies. I am also out.

Defoe retired from playing years ago now. Does your friend include former footballers that don't play any more, or is it just current players? If it's the latter, he's just talking rubbish.

My friend asked me if I'm just as irritated as they are at people mispronouncing the name of the author of Robinson Crusoe.

I said, I'm sorry I don't understand that cultural reference.

My friend asked me if I'm just as irritated as they are when posters get their tenses wrong!

I replied 'I agreed'.

At work the other day one of my management team came over complaining that Jenny from accounts couldn't pronounce footballers names. I said Saka!
