Would everyone stop saying "Pher-tographer"? Thanks.

[Scott Stephen]

Have you noticed that nearly no one says "PHOtographer" properly? Everyone says "FER-tographer." No one ever says they are taking a "ferto" or a "fertograph", but they all refer to people who take pictures as "FERtographers."

Perhaps I am grumpy today.

There a quite a few very good Fur-tographers that post very regularly to this site. I don't mind them.
And it is certainly better to be a Furtographer, than to be asked, "Would you please take my "pharto", mate?"

In todays world of politically correctness, instead of fur-tographers they should be faux-tographers.

Very PC of you, but a couple of questions.
Are faux-tographers the same as those guys taking "fartos" of their enemies, the foe-tographer?
Annddd..
Are cart-tographers always getting themsleves before the horse-tographers? Or have I got that the wrong way around.

You should always be in front of the horse-tographers, unless you want to be a horse phartographer.

Steve I Also wonder if the Fauxtographers use photoshop more than the other types.

One could distinguish between pros (fee tographers) and amateurs (free tographers).

[Busted Knuckles]

I have to admit the "fee" "free" and "faux" did bring a chuckle - glad there is a sense of humor.

Having come from Detroit and lived in Northern Wisconsin for 30 years during the winter of 2002.... Rest assured our Ontario friends stole the 'eh from someone and "Yuse guys" is fairly common in both the north woods fo Wisconsin and New Jersey.
