‘It’s Jordan, like the stadium’: For Georgia fan turned Auburn engineer, the correct pronunciation struggle is very real — and personal

She’s a Georgia fan. But still, coming to Auburn, she thought life would be easier. Not just because she’d enjoy the best student-centered engineering experience in America. But because she wouldn’t have to explain it. She wouldn’t have to have all the back-and-forth. When the professor called roll — do they still do that? — she could just say “it’s actually pronounced like the stadium.” When the Chick-fil-A window dude did a double take at the receipt to make sure he had it right, she could just say “yeah, but it’s like the coach.”

But, friends, that aspect of life hasn’t gotten easier!
