Evidence that children mispronouncing things is the best way to get people's attention: In a brilliant advertisement for BBC America's Planet Earth, the producers pooled together a group of kids to mimic the classic narrations of David Attenborough. Trouble is, the kids weren't ready to stick to the script, let alone pronounce Attenborough's name: "We're good but we're not that good as Aperfallagood."
All I can say is, I'm totally going to watch Planet Earth right now. Just a preview: "Eww, what is he eating!? I would never eat a fly, I like cheeseburgers."
