howlage

so I was watching tv and this wee northern irish boy is spelling for the entertainment of the adult audience which in itself is a bit problematic I think but anyway the announcer says spell "haulage" though she pronounced it something like "howlage" or "horloge" and the wee guy thinks this was meant to be english spelling but that's a french word but anyway i'll have a go and he spells "horlidge" which is actually closer to what she said, but they say no, thats meant to be h-a-u-l-a-g-e, you're wrong...

so I thought that was bad enough

but tonight the kids are watching the same thing which appears to be some kind of championship - and this announcer says "wapow" and the wee person has no idea what she's said and runs out of time and it's "rapport" which after all is actually a french word...

and he's "eliminated"

what is this? "entertainment"?
